Ingredients for Honey Sriracha Aioli
2tablespoonshoney sriracha sauce
4tablespoonskewpie mayo - or regular mayo
½teaspoonyellow mustard
¼teaspoonlime juice - or lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add the grated ginger and grated garlic and stir for a couple of minutes, or until the ginger and garlic begin to gently bubble in the oil.
Then add the rest of the ingredients to the saucepan (honey, sriracha, ketchup, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, crushed red pepper, and salt).
Give it a quick mix, and turn the heat off. If you want the sauce to be thicker, gently simmer the sauce for a couple of minutes while stirring constantly. Be careful to not simmer too much, as the sauce thickens further when it cools down.
Transfer the sauce to a jar once it cools down and use as needed.
The Aioli Version
Mix the prepared honey sriracha sauce with mayo, yellow mustard, and lime juice in the quantities mentioned on the ingredient list and dip away like you mean business.
