spicy mayo

Creamy hot spread

Spicy mayo is mayonnaise mixed with a hot sauce or chili paste, typically sriracha.

It originated in Japanese-American fusion cuisine and became a standard condiment for sushi rolls, poke bowls, and similar dishes.

The mixture has spread beyond Asian restaurants to appear on sandwiches, burgers, and anywhere a creamy heat is wanted: drizzle some spicy mayo on top.
