What is the spicy mayo on sushi made of? ›

What is Spicy Mayo? Spicy mayo is made with three simple ingredients: Japanese mayonnaise, sriracha hot chili sauce, and a splash of lime juice. This all-purpose spicy mayo is great for sushi, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, and fries! It's so easy to make and is a must-have in my household.

However, I do recommend the use of Japanese mayo, which is slightly sweeter and a little thinner than supermarket staples like Hellmann's, although if not eaten side-by-side, it can be tough to pinpoint the slight difference in flavor.

Is Spicy Mayonnaise the Same as Sriracha Mayonnaise? In some cases, the main ingredient of spicy mayonnaise is a few tablespoons of sriracha sauce. But every spicy mayonnaise may feature different ingredients that give it a unique spice and flavor, from chipotle sauce to taco seasoning.

So, is yum yum sauce spicy mayo? Kind of. It is a mayo-based sauce but spicy mayo is usually just mayo and sriracha. Yum yum sauce includes more spices and flavorings.

Yes, you can use regular vinegar, as long as you mean a white or distilled vinegar, not balsamic or other dark vinegars. The trick to using regular vinegar is to dilute it until it is mellow, but still noticeable, rice vinegar is much less sharp and acidic than regular vinegar.

It is fantastic drizzled over your favorite sushi roll, as a dip for French fries, raw veggies or chicken nuggets, on a burger or chicken sandwich, used as a spread on sandwiches in place of regular mayo, or used in potato salad or deviled eggs! Spicy mayo will become one of your favorite dipping sauces!

Yum Yum Sauce is made of mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, sugar, paprika and water to thin the sauce out. That's it! It's really just a matter of the right ratios of ingredients to get the flavor you want!

It's only fitting that Terry Ho's is the best yum yum sauce brand you can buy; Terry invented yum yum sauce for his chain of Hibachi Express restaurants.
