Method
Spicy Mayo Base
Combine base ingredients
In a medium bowl, add 1 cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons sriracha, and 1 tablespoon gochujang. Use a whisk or silicone spatula to gently combine until the chili pastes are evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth.
Add aromatics and acid
Stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Add the minced garlic (1 clove) and 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Season and adjust
Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust for heat and sweetness: add up to 1 tablespoon extra sriracha for more spice or another teaspoon of honey for balance. If the mayo is too thick for your use (dipping vs drizzling), whisk in up to 1 teaspoon neutral oil or 1–2 teaspoons water to reach desired consistency.
Finish and garnish
Fold in 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds if using. If you want a fresh finish, stir in 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions. Transfer to a squeeze bottle or airtight container.
Chill: cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 1–2 hours) to let flavors marry. The sauce will thicken slightly when cold.
Serving & Storage
Serve: use as a dip for fries, tempura, chicken, or as a drizzle on sandwiches, bowls, and sushi cups/pops. If using as a drizzle, thin slightly with the neutral oil or water as indicated above.
Store: keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Stir before each use. Discard if any off smell or separation beyond normal occurs.
