Note: If you are cooking for a particular style of eating, please check all of your ingredients carefully.

Many of my recipes have alternatives, and you want to choose the alternatives that fit the style you are preparing. Also, packaged goods may have ingredients you wouldn't expect. Soy sauce may or may not have gluten. Chocolate may or may not have dairy. This means you want to check the ingredients labels on the products you will use. Also, it's important to be aware that if you are cooking for someone with allergies or other reasons to take special care, you should avoid cross-contamination. For example, don't use the same utensil that was used in food containing the allergen or use the same cutting board that was used for food containing the allergen.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (can use plant-based mayo)

  • 1/2 shallot (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  • Mix all spicy mayo ingredients.

Notes

Any unflavored mayo will work great for making the spicy mayo, including plant-based mayo. Kewpie mayo is a Japanese style mayo that I like to use for the spicy mayo, but if you are watching sodium, you may prefer to use a lower sodium mayo. Kewpie traditionally contains MSG, and you may need to shop around to find it without MSG if you prefer.  I have been able to purchase it without MSG at Whole Foods:  https://amzn.to/3R97jct
One advantage of making your own spicy mayo is that you can choose the amount of spice. My sweet spot is two tablespoons of sriracha. Sometimes I mix all ingredients except the Sriracha and then divide the mayo in two before adding the sriracha in order to make some more and some less spicy and allow people to choose.
