Spicy mayo is one of those sauces that instantly upgrades almost any dish. With Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise as the base, its rich, umami flavor blends perfectly with the heat of sriracha and the bright tang of lime juice.
This version is incredibly simple: just stir everything together and it's ready. Keep a jar in the fridge for up to 10 days to drizzle over sushi rolls, tacos, grain bowls, or even use as a dipping sauce for crispy chicken or fries.

Method
- Gather the mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice.
- In a small bowl, combine the Kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, and a splash of lime juice.
- Stir well until the sauce is smooth and evenly blended.
- Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 7–10 days.
💡 Tips
- For a milder version, start with half the sriracha and adjust to taste.
- If you don't have lime juice, a splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice works well too.
- Kewpie mayonnaise is key for the authentic creamy texture; regular mayo will work but the flavor will be slightly different.
