Ingredients

3/4 cup mayo
3 tablespoons sriracha
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil regular sesame oil will work too
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sriracha, lime juice, sesame oil, and ground ginger until fully blended.
Serve as a spread or dip with your favorite sandwich, sushi, or chips.
Cover in an airtight container and keep for up to 5 days. Stir as needed before serving again.

Notes

For sushi, thin the sauce with a teaspoon of water at a time and use a squeeze bottle to drizzle it over rolls or bowls.
No sriracha? Use whatever hot sauce is in your fridge (start with half the amount), or a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.
A little lime juice brightens the sauce, and make sure your sesame oil is the toasted kind.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. The sauce naturally separates a little, so stir before serving.
