Yum Yum Sauce

Yum Yum Sauce earned its name by being phenomenally YUMMY!  This Japanese steak house sauce is a luxuriously creamy, sweet, tangy and as spicy-as-you-like mayo based dipping sauce (aioli).  It’s the type of sauce that makes the meal, and goes with practically everything from meats, seafood, vegetables, burgers, French fries, rice, noodles and more! Yum Yum Sauce is also ridiculously easy to whip up in less than 10 minutes with pantry friendly ingredients and zero chopping!  Best of all, this homemade Yum Yum Sauce recipe tastes 1000X better than store-bought and is make-ahead friendly for up to a week!
