Introducing my vegan sriracha mayo sauce - it's creamy, spicy, and the perfect way to add some zing to any recipe! It's the ideal condiment for anyone who loves spicy food! With only 5 ingredients, this is a recipe you can make on repeat and pair with all your favorites from sandwiches to tacos.
Spice lovers, this vegan creamy sriracha sauce is for YOU! I've been putting this on everything from sammies, to sushi, even on pasta. You guys have to try it! It's definitely not for the weak, but you can easily adjust the spice level by adding less sriracha. I put the full 2 tablespoons in and loved every hot minute!
Sauces and condiments are definitely my thing, a bit of an obsession as you can see by the loads of recipes here on my blog. And this vegan spicy mayo tops the list! It is bold, versatile, and oh so creamy. I use it for loads of different cuisines like Asian, Mexican, American and more!
🥘 Ingredients
Whip up my easy vegan sriracha mayonnaise with only a few simple ingredients! Here is what you will need:
Tahini: I love the nutty flavor that tahini provides, all while being nut-free! Tahini is made from blended sesame seeds and provides a rich, creamy base for our mayo. It is my secret ingredient to make a vegan spicy mayo without mayo.
Veggie Broth: I use vegetable broth to thin out the tahini a bit, so that this spicy vegan mayo is the perfect consistency for spreading, drizzling, and dipping! You can sub water for the veggie broth but it won't be as flavorful.
Sriracha: Use the classic Huy Fong Sriracha for the best results, or try out a healthier alternative like the Yellowbird Organic Sriracha Hot Sauce.
Apple Cider Vinegar: For a little tanginess I like to add in 4 teaspoons of ACV! I find that amount balances out all the flavors in this vegan mayo sauce, but feel free to adjust to your own tastes.
Garlic Powder: For a little extra kick I add in garlic powder. Technically you could skip this ingredient, but I think you'll love the additional flavor that it brings.
🔪 How To Make Vegan Sriracha Mayo
It has truly never been easier to make vegan spicy mayo at home! Add everything to a bowl, whisk, and you're good to go! Here is how to make spicy mayo without mayo:
Combine All Ingredients & Enjoy: I start by placing all of my ingredients into a small bowl. Then, I whisk everything together - mixing well to smooth out the mayo. That is all there is to it! Pour the healthy vegan sriracha mayo into an airtight container, serving bowls, or directly over your food, and enjoy!
📖 Variations
Citrusy Sriracha Mayo: Add a dash of fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice to cut the heat a bit, while adding a boost of flavor. I particularly love adding in lime when I know I'll be using this sauce for tacos!
Garlicky Sriracha Mayo: While this recipe already includes garlic powder, sometimes I like to level up on the garlicky taste with fresh minced garlic. It adds a nice texture to the mayo, similar to adding relish to thousand island dressing. Adding in a little onion powder here would also compliment the garlic well.
Tahini-Free: If you aren't a fan of the tahini flavor or can't find any at the store, you could try using cashew butter. This may be thicker in consistency however, so adjust with more broth as needed. You'll have a creamy sriracha sauce with no mayo and no tahini!
🍽 Serving Suggestions
I smear, dip, or drizzle this vegan sriracha mayonnaise onto so many different things! It adds the perfect touch of spice and flavor. Here are some of my favorites:
As A Spread: My absolute favorite way to use this dairy-free sriracha mayo is as a spread on sandwiches or burgers! So far I've tried it on my vegan chicken sandwich, spicy black bean burger, and sourdough grilled cheese.
As A Dipping Sauce: I love to dunk almost anything into this vegan sriracha mayo sauce! Try it out with vegan egg rolls, air fryer frozen french fries, mushroom fritters, and so much more.
As A Drizzle: Drizzle some of this over these avocado vegan sushi rolls, sweet potato tacos, tofu fried rice, or my vegetarian egg roll in a bowl. I have tried it with all three of these and it is absolutely perfect!
🫙 Storage Instructions
Fridge: Since my creamy vegan sriracha sauce recipe makes about 1 cup total, you should be able to store it and use it throughout the week! I like to keep this mayo in a mason jar or any airtight container and store in the fridge. I don't recommend storing this recipe as it changes texture once frozen and defrosted.
❓Recipe FAQs
What can I do if my sriracha mayo is too spicy?
If you mixed up your mayo and it turned out spicier than you'd prefer, no worries! Just add a little bit more of the tahini, broth, and apple cider vinegar until you achieve your preferred spice level. From there you can play around with the garlic powder, adding a little more if needed.
Why is my vegan sriracha mayo so runny?
When making vegan mayonnaise, the consistency will be different from regular mayo! It can take a little trial and error to find that perfect level of thickness. If you follow along with my measurements and instructions, the spicy mayo should turn out well!
However, depending on the brand of tahini purchased this could vary. If your tahini seems to be pretty thin, you might need less broth. You can always start out with less and add more as you mix, until you achieve the desired consistency.
