Spicy mayo

Add a subtly fiery kick to your sushi rolls! Tangy and creamy, with garlicky undertones, Chef Devaux’s Spicy Mayonnaise is an instantly gratifying super sauce that will infuse your Nigiri with flavor – and can be used for dipping too! Better yet, this mildly spicy, simple, versatile and inexpensive Japanese recipe calls for only a few basic cupboard staples, and goes with just about everything.

Instructions

Put two tablespoons of Kewpie mayonnaise in a mixing bowl, followed by two tablespoons of Sriracha sauce. Home-made Kewpie mayonnaise is preferred for this recipe. But you can of course use a store-bought alternative instead.

Here’s the recipe for Chef Devaux’s home-made Kewpie mayonnaise.

Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the Sriracha and mayonnaise mixture. Resist the temptation to use the whole lime, because too much lime juice will make the sauce runny.

Add two generous teaspoons of Masago Capelin roe to the mixture. Stir thoroughly with a teaspoon. Sample the mixture once the ingredients have been mixed. Adjust accordingly with Kewpie mayonnaise or Sriracha sauce to suit your taste.
