Notes
- Add 1 extra teaspoon of Sriracha if you like it extra spicy.
- If you don't have fish sauce on hand, you can omit it!
- If you want to cut back on calories, you can make this without the mayo (but I think it's worth the flavor!).
- If you like your bang bang sauce on the sweeter side, add one more tbsp of sweet chili sauce.
