How to Store Spicy Mayonnaise

Transfer the Spicy Mayonnaise in a mason jar or in an airtight container with a tightly fitted lid. To use the Spicy Mayo for drizzling on top of your dishes, then I recommend that you store the sauce in a squeeze bottle.The sauce has a shelf life of 6-10 days.

Is Aioli Spicy?▼

Well, yes it is spicy, or else it wouldn’t be called spicy mayo! However, I would not dismiss this sauce as just spicy. There are many more dimensions to this sauce. For example, it is a fairly creamy sauce from the mayo, especially if you’re using Japanese mayonnaise. The lemon or lime juice used also adds some tanginess to balance out the spiciness from the Sriracha sauce. Of course, you can always add more or less heat depending on your preferences. You can increase the Sriracha ratio or by adding smoked paprika, cayenne, chilli powder, or even a few dashes of your favourite hot sauce, if desired.
