What is Bang Bang sauce
Bang Bang sauce is a mayo-based condiment that draws inspiration from Asian cuisine. It’s the perfect addition to seafood, chicken, or salads. Whether drizzled over crispy chicken or shrimp or used as a dipping sauce, this easy-to-make creamy sauce adds a touch of spice and sweetness to any dish.
Ingredients
Mayonnaise : You can use store-bought or make your own mayo . I recommend going for a full-fat version to get the creamiest sauce.
Sweet Chili Sauce
Sriracha Sauce : Or use your favorite hot sauce.
Rice Vinegar .

How to make Bang Bang sauce
Mix the Ingredients : In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar. Then, using a small balloon whisk or a fork, mix the ingredients until a thick sauce forms. It should have a light, salmon-pink color.
Chill and Serve: Place the sauce in the fridge and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes. So this will allow the flavors to meld and give you an even tastier finished sauce.
