What is aioli

The word aïoli is french, it literally means oil and garlic.

It's made almost similarly as mayonnaise - Raw egg yellows, oil, garlic and salt. It's a creamy sauce that can be drizzled over, dipped into or slathered over.

It's quite versatile.

Ingredients for Sriracha Garlic Lime Aioli

This is a cheat's aioli recipe. We will be using mayonnaise instead of making this with raw eggs. So here is what you need

• Mayonnaise
• Sriracha
• Lemon
• Garlic
• Sugar - optional

The reason I am using mayonnaise instead of raw eggs is quite simply the ease. You will always have mayonnaise in the fridge so why deal with eggs and oil?

Plus this way saves you quite a few dishes. You can make it in the same bowl you are serving the dip in. So that's a definite win!

Mayonnaise

Make your own or use the jarred mayonnaise. You can choose to make this aioli vegan by using a plant based mayonnaise.

But if you want the real stuff, just add 2 egg yellows in the blender or using a stick blender. Blend and drizzle in oil. It takes about 2-3 minutes.

You basically combine 2 non congruous ingredients to make a delicious creamy dip that's nothing like the ingredients you started with. It's quite magical!

Sriracha

Sriracha is a thai hot sauce made with vinegar, sugar,chili peppers. It's usually quite runny and packaged in squeezy bottles. It's quite addictive and if you haven't tried it, I urge you to get a bottle!

I have used regular sriracha from Huy Fung Foods that's medium spicy( according to my quite tolerant Indian pallate).

You can feel free to use a spicier version or any other hot sauce of your liking.

Lime

You can use yellow lemon or a green lime. The yellow lemon is sweeter with lesser acidity where as a green lime will be more sour.

The taste differs but both give you the sour note that's needed to make this aioli

Garlic

Easiest way to add garlic would be to use garlic powder. It dissolves quite quickly with zero fuss!

But if you are using fresh garlic, make sure to grate it as finely as you can. You can also chop it up or use a garlic press.

Sugar

Use powdered sugar, honey , maple syrup or caster sugar. Definitely avoid granulated sugar because it will take a while to dissolve.

Sugar rounds up the flavor making this aioli sour, creamy, spicy, slightly sweet and umami.

How to make 2 minute Sriracha Aioli

It cannot get easier than this! Really.

Just throw everything together in a bowl and mix.

If you want it super uniform or don't like even small bits of garlic, you can blend the sauce.

Give the aioli a taste and adjust the salt if needed.

If you are serving non spicy crisps, then you can add a bit more sriracha to amp the aioli up.

Making Sriracha Garlic Aioli from Scratch

To make this aioli from scratch you will need

• 1 Egg Yolk
• 125 ml Oil

Rest of the ingredients are same as the recipe

• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar

Egg yolk, oil & stick blender. The end.

Serving

This sauce can be served straight after "cooking" or out of the refrigerator. It's good served at room temperature or cold.

Dipping Sauce- for Finger foods like French fries, breaded chicken tenders, chips, shrimp. Serve it in slightly deep small dipping bowls .I like to place these around the table especially if I have more than 8 guests.

Finishing sauce - Drizzle it over finished dishes, especially over fish & shrimp. You can make any food better by just drizzling this sauce over it. Imagine salmon over rice. Now imagine salmon over rice which has a zig zack drizzle of this sauce! So good!

Storing

The sriracha aioli made with store-bought mayonnaise will last almost as long as the mayonnaise you have used. But if you have used fresh garlic, i would give it 10-15 days in the fridge.

Sriracha aioli made from scratch using raw eggs and oil, will last for 7-8 days.

Make sure you cover the aioli well. Mayonnaise tends to form a film on top when refrigerated open.
