Notes
- For the mayo, you can use any kind you want. I used Hellman's because it's what I had on hand, but Kewpie mayo, a Japanese brand that has more umami flavor, would be great here.
- Store the homemade spicy mayo in an airtight container or jar (I like using a mason jar) for a few weeks in the fridge.
- This spicy mayo is delicious served on top of seared ahi tuna steaks, on Bánh Mì hot dogs, on breakfast sandwiches, with carrot fries or oven fries as a dip, and more!
- The chili garlic sauce can be substituted with sriracha hot sauce, gochujang (a fermented Korean chili paste), or other Asian-style hot sauce of choice.
