Sriracha Spread

Since being introduced to the Asian hot sauce Sriracha, I have tried to find fun and unexpected ways to include it in my Southern food repertoire. This spread is a spiced-up mayonnaise, but don’t be afraid of the heat. When you try it on my Mississippi Banh Mi (page 111), you will become a fan too.

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Sriracha hot chili sauce

4 teaspoons prepared horseradish

4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

4 teaspoons soy sauce

½ teaspoon fresh lime juice

Mix the mayonnaise, Sriracha, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
