Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, grated garlic, and sea salt until fully combined.
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.
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.
Once all the oil has been added and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, whisk in the Sriracha sauce until evenly blended.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or an extra drizzle of Sriracha for more spice.
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!
