Spicy Sriracha Aioli
What it is
This is a creamy, flavorful condiment that combines the richness of aioli with the distinct heat and tang of sriracha chili sauce. It typically starts with a base of mayonnaise, garlic, and oil, then incorporates the vibrant red sriracha for a spicy kick. The texture is smooth and emulsified, making it a versatile addition to many dishes. It offers a bold flavor profile that is both savory and zesty.
How people cook with it
This spicy aioli is excellent for adding a punch of flavor to everyday meals. It can be used as a dip, spread, or sauce.
- Sandwich and burger spread
- Dip for fries and vegetables
- Sauce for seafood and chicken
- Marinade base
To use, simply open the container and apply directly to your food. It works wonderfully as a spread on sandwiches, wraps, and burgers, adding a creamy and spicy element. It also serves as a fantastic dipping sauce for french fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, or fresh vegetables. For a more complex flavor, it can be incorporated into marinades for grilled or roasted meats and seafood, infusing them with its unique taste. A small dollop can also elevate the flavor of salads or grain bowls.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain mayonnaise, this aioli offers a significant spicy and garlicky flavor from the sriracha and garlic. It is thicker and more intensely flavored than a simple sriracha sauce alone. The emulsified base provides a richer mouthfeel than just adding sriracha to another condiment.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining aioli in its original container in the refrigerator. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. It is best to consume within the recommended timeframe indicated on the packaging for optimal flavor and quality.
