The spice levels of this sriracha mayonnaise will depend on the heat level of the sriracha you use. I made my own sauce which packs quite a punch. And you can adjust the amount you use to suit your own taste buds.

Sriracha Mayonnaise
In the last 35 years, I can probably count on one hand the number of mayonnaise bottles I have purchased in South Africa. Since first getting a stick blender in my twenties, I have always made my own. The only time I buy this condiment is when we are travelling overseas. It is just much easier to do, and French mayo is amazing. Especially when used as a dipping sauce for prawns. Last year we went on a road trip and I saw sriracha mayonnaise on sale. I bought a bottle for our lunch time bread rolls. And even though it was good, it was not excellent. I knew there and then that I could make a better version of this at home. I used my own homemade sriracha sauce to do so. This is not a necessity, but certainly added to how good it was.
The process
When I first started making mayonnaise at home, I was extremely good with measurements. It really does not matter too much, as long as the ratio of oil is correct. And, you need to keep the egg whole. The basis to my recipe is one egg, 5mls acetic acid, and 250mls neutral oil. Dave adds mustard, mustard powder and curry powder when he makes this. I add whatever takes my fancy. The key is to place the blade of the stick blender over the egg, and start the machine without moving it. Only when the mayo starts thickening do you lift the blade up. If you do this, you should get the perfect result. If for any reason the mayonnaise does not thicken you can add another egg. Or, try Dave’s trick and place the jar into the fridge overnight. Then, the following day, blend it again.

Quite frankly I do not use mayonnaise often because of the health issue but your very simple variation prepared at home makes me think differently. I am avidly reading your darling husband’s ways also as I like both mustard and the idea of the double blend for consistency -thanks a million !!!
I have used Canola Oil for years in our diet, and neither hubby nor I have any health issues. And as we make our own mayo, there are no preservatives, or sugar in it 🙂
Love me some sriracha
Hope you try and make this!
I’ve only tried to make mayo once and it was a disaster. I was not able to resurrect it no matter what i did. I think it was an Annabel Langbein recipe. I must try again!
I must look to see who Annabel Langbein is!
Fantastic!!! There are a couple brands of mayo that I do enjoy. Plus Kewpie, of course!
There are some decent brands out there. I have never bought kewpie mayo though 🙂
One of my favourites! I usually add a lot of more sriracha :-))
I don’t usually like hot things, but this I could have added more for sure 🙂
Yeah, you cannot really beat homemade mayonnaise. The fact that you’re in charge of the ingredients and their quality, does make a huge difference.
It does indeed!
I am a mayo failure 🙁 Tried to make it once to no avail … ah well should try again i guess.
Please do!
My mom LOVES sriracha mayo, but she is always buying hers – I have to make your recipe for her, as I think she will LOVE it! Thanks Tandy!
Hope she does Shashi 🙂
