THE Best Japanese Spicy Mayo Recipe 🍱

It’s no secret: Japanese spicy mayo elevates quite literally any dish it’s paired with. Whether you mix it with sushi (think: tuna, yellowtail, scallops), drizzle it over your poké bowl, or use it as a dip for your meat or fish, this creamy and savory treat is one you won’t want to skip out on.

Spicy mayo isn’t just reserved for Asian cuisine, however, as it’s been known to mesh well with fries, burgers, sandwiches, and so much more. If you’re looking to add a little spice (pun intended) for your next dish, this is it.

The best mayonnaise to use for this is Japanese Kewpie mayo, which has a more umami (savory) flavor compared to regular mayo, and can be found at your local Asian grocery store. If you don’t have access to Kewpie or if you are looking to make this vegan, then regular mayo or egg-less mayo will work just as well!

INGREDIENTS

·       2 tbsp Kewpie Mayonnaise (substitute vegan mayo, if desired)

·       1 tsp Mirin

·       1 tbsp Sesame Oil
