Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 small Garlic clove (finely grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, grated garlic, and sea salt until fully combined.
Step 2
While continuing to whisk constantly, very slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil. Start with just a few drops at a time and gradually increase to a thin, steady stream as the mixture begins to emulsify. This process could take 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
If the mixture becomes too thick while whisking, add 1 teaspoon of cold water to help thin it slightly and continue incorporating the olive oil.
Step 4
Once all the oil has been added and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, whisk in the Sriracha sauce until evenly blended.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or an extra drizzle of Sriracha for more spice.
Step 6
Transfer the Sriracha mayonnaise to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before using as a dip, spread, or dressing!
