Sriracha Mayo Recipe
The internet is all afire about Huy Fong’s Sriracha Hot Sauce lately and I’m still fired up (no, not from the consumption of the chili sauce), but from all the headlines on the internet. The New York Times calls it “A Chili Sauce to Crow About”, “The United States of Sriracha” and ” The All American Sauce” and has an open call for yet to be unidentified Sriracha sightings (USS). I simply called it – Cult Sriracha. All the spicy fuss has made Huy Fong’s Sriracha a cultural phenomenon and an American institution that can be found in dishes beyond your imagination. Almost every HF Sriracha junkie has a special dish they call their own. From Sriracha spiked hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, tacos and sushi to more elaborate inceptions by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, everyone finds sweet and spicy comfort in this bottle of red gold.

Spicy Creamy Sauce on Everything
Almost every HF Sriracha junkie has a special dish they call their own. From Sriracha spiked hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, tacos and sushi to more elaborate inceptions by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, everyone finds sweet and spicy comfort in this bottle of red gold. My food salvation and comfort is mixing my homemade Sriracha style hot sauce with some mayo. Beads of sweat start to roll down my forehead as I watch the spicy red gold swirl through the creamy layers of mayo, until it becomes a salmon colored bowl of treasure at the end of a rainbow. If there were any Leprechauns at the end of this chili rainbow ready to snag my spicy mayo, I’ll kick their little elfin asses. Oh, yes I would. Finally, the clencher is dipping the second love of my life, fried potatoes (Todd is my first love, of course), into the sauce and I am screaming for joy.
French fried potatoes dipped in creamy chili hot sauce is a manifestation of starch, fat, spice and richness. I think I’m in need of therapy. This Cult Sriracha, Cult Red Rooster thing has gotten the best of me. Call 911, send help.
But let me finish my plate of spicy, creamy comfort first.
Thank you,
Diane

I have been combining hot sauce (mostly tabasco) with mayo for over 30+ years and just recently became a sriracha convert and will never go back I haven’t tried these particular 2 together yet but I know that I’ll love it. Sriracha is wonderful compared to what I used to think was pretty darn good because it has *actual* definable flavors to it instead of all the various, assorted, and sundry hot sauces which just provide HEAT!!
I too, like many others, have used this same sauce for years but if you’re feeling really bold, try adding some finely minced garlic. Spicy goodness!!!
I just found your site and I made this dipping sauce to go with Vidalia onion rings! It is delish. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
I found this out on my own. 🙂 Sriracha + Mayo. I eat it with tortilas all the time. Glad i found this article. I have to try it with lemon/lime juice (maybe lemon grass powder?). Epic!!! 😀

Everyone is still in love with the Sauce, I love the sauce but I have been eating it since I was very young to it’s not that big of a deal to me that I eat with almost everything. It tastes really good on boiled eggs, pizza, and in ramen too
We substituted Greek Yogurt instead of Mayo…and then added twice as much lime juice and a pinch of black pepper….and it’s YUMMO!
Dang. I thought this was an original idea of mine, until I saw your post. But I have to agree – it’s the BEST dip by far, and works with most ANYTHING!
Just stumbled onto this amazing site and can’t get off!!! Now, what else would be good with this sauce? I’m low-carbing and thought maybe meat fondue or any good steak but I need ideas folks!
Can I put a dash of fish sauce in this? I feel like that would be yummy.
Epic- certainly! a dash of fish sauce would make it extra flavorful.
OMG – I’ve been meaning to make this. Whipped it up tonight, and we are eating it by the spoonful! I haven’t even made any fries yet! It’s amazing!
You mentioned in your article, do you even need a recipe for french fries? I would say yes you do, because perfect french fries are cooked twice and never go limp. Trust me.
That is one awesome peeler you have there. Got to give you kudos for the great-looking photos, makes me want to jump in the kitchen and do something (which I am right now).
I discovered sriracha from the NYT article, but here in madrid we only get Flying Goose… I actually prefer to do this one from scratch (eggs & oil).
I’m going to follow your lead and add lemon juice and soy sauce and see what happens. P.S. Also delicious for dipping artichokes. http://gabrielaskitchen.wordpress.com/2009/05/21/cock-sauce/
I just discovered your blog (followed you from Phoo-D) and I’m enjoying perusing your recipes and stories. We are hot sauce freaks in our house and I cannot wait to try this!
