Notes

It's important that the garlic is grated well to avoid biting into a large chunk. A zester works great for this.
Add more or less hot sauce to suit your heat preference. You can also swap the hot sauce for sriracha for a slightly different flavor.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the soy sauce slightly or add an extra tablespoon of mayo.
For a thinner sauce, add a splash of water or more rice vinegar to make it more drizzle-friendly.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Stir before using as separation may occur.
This sauce goes great with shrimp, chicken, fries, tacos, or even as a salad dressing.
