Easy Yum Yum Sauce
This insanely tasty yum yum sauce recipe is like you'd find at a Japanese steakhouse, but it's simple to make at home with less than 10 minutes of prep time! It's really versatile and pairs with so many things.
Servings: 12 (makes about 1.5 cups)
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayo (use Japanese mayo if you wish)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 dash hot sauce optional
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Water (as needed)
Instructions
- Microwave the butter in a small bowl to melt it, then let it cool for a few minutes. Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl (or a measuring cup like I did in the photo) and stir/whisk the sauce together until smooth. Give it a taste and adjust ingredients as needed. You can add some water to thin it (start with a tablespoon at a time) if needed.
- Transfer to a sealed container and store in the fridge (it'll last about a week or so). The flavors will meld the longer you leave it, so I highly recommend letting it sit overnight or at least a few hours before using if possible.
Notes
- I estimated the serving size to be about 2 tablespoons/person for the nutrition info.
- I used Hellmann's mayo in my recipe.
