How To Make Sriracha Aioli
Step 1. Add all the ingredients to a small bowl.
Step 2. Whisk together until smooth. Adjust the heat by adding more sriracha for a spicier sauce, more honey to sweeten it, or a little more salt to balance the flavors.
Tip: To thin the sauce, you can whisk in more lime juice or a little water.
How to Store Sriracha Aioli Sauce
Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container, like a mason jar with a lid, for up to 5 days. I don’t recommend freezing it.
Variations and Additions
- Garlic: If you like a garlicky flavor, you can increase the amount of minced garlic and sprinkle in some granulated garlic. If you’re not a fan of raw garlic, you can omit it entirely or use a little garlic powder in place of it.
- Fresh herbs: Mix in chopped fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives for a fresh pop of flavor.
- Citrus zest: Add a bit of lemon or lime zest to brighten up the flavors.
- Smoky chipotle: Blend in chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for a smoky and spicy kick.
- Sweetener: Instead of honey, you can also use maple syrup or a little granulated sugar.
- Hot sauce: If you like a tangy sauce, you can use part sriracha and part regular hot sauce.
