Gather Your Sriracha Mayo Noodles Ingredients
Alright, let’s get these amazing noodles going! You probably have most of this stuff already, which is why it’s my favorite last-minute meal. You’ll need about 200 grams of your favorite dried noodles – I love ramen or udon for this, but honestly, spaghetti works too! Then, for that magical sauce, grab 3 tablespoons of good ol’ mayonnaise. Next up, the star of the show: 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce. Don’t be shy, but you can totally adjust this later if you’re feeling brave or want it milder! We also need 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for that savory depth, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for a nutty kick, and just 1 clove of garlic, minced super fine. That’s pretty much it for the main event!
Key Ingredients for Sriracha Mayo Noodles
The heart of these Sriracha mayo noodles is that perfect combo: the creamy mayo mellows out the fiery Sriracha, while the soy sauce and sesame oil add that irresistible savory, nutty flavor. It’s simple, but wow, does it pack a punch!
Optional Garnishes for Your Noodles
Now, for the fun part – making them look as good as they taste! I usually like to chop up some fresh green onions, just the green parts really, for a little pop of color and freshness. A sprinkle of sesame seeds is also super pretty and adds a nice little crunch. Totally optional, but they really do finish the dish off perfectly!
How to Prepare Sriracha Mayo Noodles
Okay, this is where the magic *really* happens, and it’s so easy you’ll wonder why you haven’t made these Sriracha mayo noodles a million times already. We’re talking dinner on the table faster than you can decide what to watch on TV!
Cooking the Noodles
First things first, get your noodles cooking! Just follow the package directions – seriously, they know best. Whether it’s ramen, udon, or even spaghetti, cook them until they’re just right, not mushy. Once they’re done, drain ’em really well. You don’t want any extra water diluting that glorious sauce we’re about to make.
Making the Creamy Sriracha Sauce
Now, while your noodles are doing their thing, let’s whip up that sauce. Grab a medium-sized bowl. Dump in your mayonnaise, the Sriracha (remember, adjust the amount to how much of a kick you like!), soy sauce, sesame oil, and that finely minced garlic. Give it all a good whisk until it’s super smooth and creamy. You want it all blended together perfectly, no streaks of mayo or garlic clumps allowed!
Combining Noodles and Sauce
Alright, noodles drained? Sauce ready? Perfect! Now, just add those hot, drained noodles right into the bowl with the sauce. Use a pair of tongs or two forks to toss everything together really well. Make sure every single noodle strand gets coated in that spicy, creamy goodness. Seriously, get in there and make sure every bit is covered!
Tips for Perfect Sriracha Mayo Noodles
Want to make your Sriracha mayo noodles absolutely perfect every time? I’ve got a couple of tricks up my sleeve! First off, don’t be afraid to play with the spice level. If you like it super hot, add more Sriracha! If you’re more of a mild fan, start with less and add more bit by bit until it’s just right for you. My other favorite tip? Save a little bit of that starchy noodle cooking water before you drain them! Just a tablespoon or two stirred into the sauce can make it extra creamy and help it hug those noodles even better. Oh, and if you want to turn this into a full meal, toss in some cooked chicken, shrimp, or even some crispy tofu!

Serving and Storing Your Sriracha Mayo Noodles
These Sriracha mayo noodles are best enjoyed right away while they’re warm and the sauce is perfectly creamy. If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare in my house!), just pop them into an airtight container and pop them in the fridge. They’ll keep for about 1-2 days. To reheat, I usually give them a quick zap in the microwave, but sometimes I add a tiny splash of water or a little extra mayo to loosen the sauce up again. It’s still delicious, just maybe not *quite* as perfect as when it was fresh!
Frequently Asked Questions About Sriracha Mayo Noodles
Got questions about these amazing Sriracha mayo noodles? I’ve got answers! People often ask, “Can I use different types of noodles?” Absolutely! While I love ramen or udon for their chewiness, spaghetti, linguine, or even soba noodles work great. Just cook them according to their package directions. Another common one is, “Is this recipe spicy?” It really depends on how much Sriracha you add! The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons, which gives a nice kick, but you can easily dial it up or down. Taste as you go! And finally, “How long does it keep?” These noodles are best fresh, but leftovers will last in an airtight container in the fridge for about 1-2 days. Just be prepared to add a little splash of water or extra mayo when reheating to get that creamy sauce back.
