Why I love this spicy sushi sauce
Making homemade sushi can be a real project, but when you have the perfect sauce the results are totally worth it. The reason I tend to dread projects like making sushi is completely my fault. I always take things one step too far. Like, I couldn’t just stick to one type of fish. I had to get tuna, salmon and crab. And, we just had to make our own spicy sushi sauce – totally my sister’s idea.
The sushi turned out great, but the best part was how spot-on this spicy sushi sauce ended up being. Plus, it was the easiest thing we made that day. I’m really glad my sister suggested making it. She figured out the perfect combination of ingredients, and it tasted really great on our rolls.

So how do you make spicy sushi sauce?
Spicy sushi sauce is literally just a few pantry staples mixed together: mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice and sesame oil. I whisked it together in a bowl and that was it.
If you want to take it to another level, try putting your spicy sushi sauce in a squeeze bottle so you can make pretty drizzles on top of the rolls, and then all you have to do is pop it into the fridge to save the leftovers.
