3 Sushi Sauce Recipes

These 3 Sushi Sauce Recipes are super easy to make, and taste fantastic. Have fun combining them with various sushi roll types!
3 recipes posted in as many days! I'm on a roll - a sushi roll, in this case! (Sorry!)
In truth, the recipes I'm posting this week are all in lead-up to a big post I plan to make next week, which will be referring back to all of them. It'll be a fun one! Anyway, *this* post is all about Sushi Sauce Recipes.
We love making sushi at home. While we do tend to stick to a certain few items (Tuna and/or salmon, usually with avocados, cucumber, and/or mango), sometimes we like to branch out and have a bit more fun with it - especially if we're feeding more than just us.
These 3 Sushi Sauce Recipes are super quick and easy to make, and can make the spread a little more polished and impressive, when entertaining.
While each has a roll or two that they're traditionally served with, it can be fun to play around with, finding new roll combinations that taste amazing
The Dynamite and Mango sauces are gluten free by default, to make gluten-free eel sauce, just be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce.
How to Use These 3 Sushi Sauce Recipes
There are two main ways that I’ll serve these sauces:
Squeeze Bottle
I like these squeeze bottles - not only are they good for serving the sauces - being able to easily squeeze a uniform drizzle over the sushi - they’re great for storing them in the fridge, as well!
Pastry Bag
If you have disposable pastry bags on hand - but not the squeeze bottles - this is a good way to be able to drizzle the sauces over sushi.
Just spoon your sauce into a pastry bag, cut the tip off the pastry bag, and drizzle your sauce over the sushi.
This method isn’t great for storage, so I tend to only spoon small amounts into the pastry bag, and just throw out the pastry bag when I’m done. The remaining sauce can be stored in a resealable container in the fridge.

I had never thought of sriracha as neutral in the context of sauces.
All three recipes are great especially the mango.
How long will this sauce last?
At least a week, probably 2.
Sometimes the spicy mayo has a sweet taste. What is used to sweeten it?
I've never come across a sweet one. If I were to sweeten this, I'd probably go with a small - very small - amount of honey.
It is preferable to find recipes listed at the beginning of a blog.
That way people can recieve what they came for..
Recipes..
A long personal post that one has to wade through to get to recipes, in this case exceedingly simple recipes in an exceedingly long personal post is tiring to wade through..
No offense intended..
You go girl!!
Just some needed feedback as many bloggers do this..
And many readers aren't into it as much as the poster is..
Hi Lilith,
As a blogger - and one who lost my entire source of income when Covid hit - it's preferable (to me!) that I'm paid for my work 🙂
Very few food bloggers are in a position to donate their time and cover all the expenses involved with running a food blog, from hosting and related costs, to food, equipment, and more.
In addition to that, Google has many things that it takes into consideration for indexing posts.
I'm sure very few of us are "into" writing long posts, however between satisfying Google AND being able to earn an income through the ad revenue, we don't have much say in the matter.
If you are enjoying the benefit of free access to a blogger's work - and their monetary investment in making it available to you - please take the two seconds to scroll to that free content, supporting the blogger so they can continue to do so 🙂
Wonderful recipes! Just what I was looking for! Thank you so much and appreciate the simplicity of the recipes 🙂
P.s. love how you broke everything down and explained each ingredient and it’s use in the recipes!
would it work to use honey, coconut sugar, (or something else?) in place of granulated sugar?
I'm excited to try these sauces!
Honey would work best of those options!
how long do each of these sauces last when kept in the fridge in a squeezy bottle
Dynamite Sauce depends on the expiry date of the mayo used.
Mango and eel should be good for a couple of weeks.
Do you have a recipe for the sushi rolls that are presented with the eel sauce? They look delicious in the pictures.. can’t take my eyes off them.
Not a recipe so much as just what we put in them. It was fried shrimp, crab stick, and avocado slices!
i think the fried shrimp is probably what caught my eye lol. thanks so much.
Some Soy sauce is not vegan fyi ; )
But I look forward to trying these
