Japanese spicy sauce (it has many variations in the name, for example, spice) is a part of many sushi, rolls and gunkans. It gives the dish piquancy and pungency. Its composition includes rather rare ingredients that are not always possible to get. How to cook it from the usual products for us?

In fact, if desired, such a sauce for rolls can be prepared from products that are available in the refrigerator of every housewife. Of course, it will be, rather, a parody of "spicy", but at the same time quite tasty and interesting.
Replace Japanese mayonnaise with a regular one. It’s best to choose a high-quality tasty product without any additional additives like lemon juice and olives. Slightly changing the taste of mayonnaise will help a couple drops of ketchup. It will turn pale pink and will already look like the spicy served in Japanese restaurants. Next, in a future sauce you need to add a little carefully chopped garlic.
By the way, such a pink garlic sauce will be a great addition to a wide variety of meat and fish dishes.
But we continue to change it further. A few drops of soy sauce are added to the sauce, after which it is thoroughly mixed.
Now is the turn of red hot pepper. You must be especially careful with this ingredient. If you mix it up or not chop it enough, then the taste of the sauce can be completely ruined. Therefore, it is better to try it several times in the process of gradually adding pepper. An interesting addition to the rolls is ready.
If desired, Tobiko caviar, which is sold in special sections of Japanese cuisine, can also be added to the sauce at the end.
