Recipe Tips and Substitutions
Tips and Tricks
- Sesame oil goes a long way. Use just a few drops. Toasted sesame oil is very strong and can overpower the sauce if too much is added.
Substitutions
- Mayo: Swap half or all of the mayo for light mayo or Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt will add tang and slightly thinner texture, so start with less and adjust.
- Sesame oil: If you don’t like sesame oil, or don’t have any on hand, you can simply omit it.
Variations
- Make it thinner. If you want a drizzle-style sauce, whisk in a teaspoon or two of warm water, coconut milk, or lime juice until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Control the heat. For more spice, stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes, sriracha, or chili garlic sauce. For a milder version, reduce the sweet chili sauce slightly and add a bit more mayo.
- Use it on other foods and recipes. This sauce works great with salmon, chicken, lettuce wraps, rice bowls, egg rolls, or as a dipping sauce for veggies.
