Notes

Top Tips:
  • You can definitely enjoy this hot sauce right after making it, but for a rich flavor allow it to rest in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
  • For a lighter sauce with less calories, you can substitute mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
  • In case you want to make this creamy sauce a vegan one, using vegan mayonnaise for this recipe is a great option.
  • For spicier taste add more sriracha and chili garlic sauce, and for sweeter flavor add more honey or maple syrup, and less sriracha to this homemade version of bang bang sauce! You can easily regulate spice level.
  • Pro tip: In case you are using a homemade mayonnaise for the first time in this sauce, then you can keep bang bang sauce in the fridge for just a week. Homemade mayo usually doesn't last for long.
