How to Make Real Japanese Spicy Mayo

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar until well combined and the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sriracha for extra heat, or more sugar for sweetness.
  3. Gently fold in the finely chopped scallions for added flavor and freshness.
  4. Spoon the spicy mayo over your favorite fresh fish, salads, rice bowls, or sandwiches. It's also fantastic as a dipping sauce!
  5. Store any leftover spicy mayo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
