1 tablespoon (medium) of Spicy Mayonnaise (15 g) has 78 calories. That works out to 520 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.7 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 8.1 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 8.3 µg of Vitamin K covers 7% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Spicy Mayonnaise brings chilli heat to the rich, smooth texture of mayonnaise. It is commonly made with mayonnaise as a base and chilli or other hot pepper, though the exact seasoning and heat vary by recipe. You’ll find it in sandwiches and burgers, served alongside fries, and used as a creamy sauce or topping for sushi. Its mild tang and peppery warmth balance crisp, savoury fillings without the sharp bite of a thinner hot sauce.
It is high in fat, so a little goes a long way. Stir some into plain yoghurt for a lighter dip, or serve it in a small amount with grilled vegetables, fish or chicken. If you’re unsure about the heat, taste a little before adding more.

Spicy mayonnaise is mayonnaise mixed with chilli sauce, hot sauce, or ground chilli. The result is a creamy sauce with a peppery kick; its heat and flavour vary depending on the chilli and the proportions used.
Mix mayonnaise with sriracha or another hot sauce to make spicy mayonnaise. Add the chilli gradually and taste as you go, so you can control the heat. A little lime or lemon juice can brighten the flavour.
Yes, spicy mayonnaise is commonly served with sushi, especially rolls, tempura, and poke bowls. It adds a creamy, spicy contrast to the rice and fillings; drizzle on a little at a time so it does not overpower them.
Spicy mayonnaise pairs well with burgers, sandwiches, fries, fried chicken, and seafood. Use it as a spread or dipping sauce, or drizzle it over rice bowls. Its creamy heat works especially well with crisp or savoury foods.
Not necessarily. Sriracha mayo is a type of spicy mayonnaise made with sriracha, while spicy mayonnaise can use other hot sauces, chilli paste, or dried chilli. The exact flavour and heat depend on the ingredients.
Spicy mayonnaise is popular in Japanese-inspired sushi dishes, but it is not one single traditional Japanese sauce. Recipes vary, and many versions combine mayonnaise with sriracha or another chilli sauce.
Yes, spicy mayonnaise works well on burgers as a creamy, tangy alternative to plain mayonnaise. Spread a thin layer on the bun or serve it alongside the burger; adding too much can make the bun soggy.
Homemade spicy mayonnaise usually keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. If you make it with raw egg, use pasteurized eggs and keep the sauce chilled; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, refrigerate opened store-bought spicy mayonnaise with the lid tightly closed. Return it to the refrigerator after serving instead of leaving it at room temperature, and follow the storage instructions on its packaging.
No, freezing spicy mayonnaise is not recommended. The mayonnaise can separate when thawed and become watery or grainy, so it may not return to its original creamy texture. Make or buy only what you can use while fresh.
