Next to some of the more underrated condiments for sandwiches, such as maple syrup and hummus, you can transform conventional mayonnaise into a savory, spicy sandwich spread that tastes extra delicious on a variety of popular sandwiches. All you need to enhance the mayo for your next turkey club or veggie-based sandwich is sriracha and soy sauce.

Mayo has a rich, creamy taste, sriracha has a spicy, tangy flavor with a small amount of underlying sweetness, and soy sauce has an umami-rich bite. While there's a decent chance you've enjoyed your fair share of classic sriracha mayo, infusing it with soy sauce makes for one elevated sandwich spread. When these three ingredients come together, they impart the perfect amount of creamy, spicy, and salty flavors to your next layered sandwich. The best part about this three-ingredient spread is that you can easily add more sriracha for an extra-spicy taste, or use extra soy sauce for a saltier finish. What's more, you can even include one or two additional ingredients for a more specific flavor profile.

Creative ways to prepare and enjoy sriracha and soy sauce-infused mayonnaise

Mayo mixed with sriracha and soy sauce can be tailor-made to accommodate a variety of foods. For starters, make this condiment one of the toppings that belong on your next chicken sandwich by adding some lime juice or lime zest to the mix. On a similar note, if you're making a sandwich with Asian flavors, such as a katsu sando or pork cutlet sandwich, infuse this three-ingredient sandwich spread with a small amount of toasted sesame oil.

Alternatively, if you're preparing a meaty Italian sub laced with zesty pepperoni and capicola, the spicy secret ingredient your mayo needs for better sandwiches is Calabrian chili paste. This Italian condiment is tangy, fruity, and showcases a distinct smoky flavor. Feel free to use both sriracha and a spoonful of Calabrian chili paste for a spicier, more complex sandwich spread.

Whichever way you zhuzh up and combine mayo, sriracha, and soy sauce, there are plenty more ways to serve this tasty spread than on sandwiches. This creamy, spicy sauce is the perfect addition to your next bowl of chicken and rice, or fish tacos. You can also drizzle this multi-purpose condiment over sushi rolls, poke bowls, or fried eggs for breakfast. What's more, you can even add some buttermilk to make a creamy, spicy salad dressing.
