The ingredients you will need
Egg, Oil, Sriracha, lemon juice and salt are the 5 ingredients you will need to make sriracha aioli from scratch
- Oil: I use Olive oil for this recipe, either mild olive oil or extra virgin. The Extra virgin olive oil does give a distinct flavour so may not appeal to everyone. I personally prefer a mild olive oil. Any oil will work though, I just prefer olive oil.
- Sriracha: Sriracha sauce is commonly available at supermarkets and food stores. It is a spicy dipping sauce. Depending on how spicy you want this aioli you could use 1-2 tablespoons of Sriracha
- Eggs: I use a whole egg in this recipe, so you do not need to separate the white from the yolk. The egg is uncooked. Traditionally homemade mayonnaise is made with raw eggs. I live in New Zealand. Where I live rates of salmonella in eggs is low. If you are uncomfortable with eating raw egg then you can purchase pasteurised eggs or use this tutorial to pasteurise your own at home.
- Garlic: Garlic powder or finely grated garlic (fresh) can be a nice addition to this recipe and can be added as an optional extra.
- Lemon: This can be substituted for lime juice.

Homemade aioli or mayo made with raw egg needs to be stored in the refrigerator. How long it lasts depends on the freshness of your eggs. The aioli will be last as long as the eggs used wold have lasted. A sensible guideline would be up to a week in the fridge, but it may last a bit longer if your eggs were nice and fresh
I wouldn't offer raw egg to young children and babies, raw egg should also be avoided by pregnant women.
- The order you add the ingredients is important: When you are making aioli or mayonnaise with a stick blender or immersion blender, it is best to add the egg first so it is at the bottom of the bowl, the oil next and then the flavourings on top.

The goal is to be eating loads of veggies, serving veggies with a delicious dressing or sauce can make them more appetising. I have a few on my site, a quick easy mayo, a mango salad dressing and a no-added-sugar tomato ketchup.
