Yum Yum Sauce Recipe
Report
This homemade yum yum sauce is just like the one you'll find in Japanese Hibachi restaurants, made with mayo, rice vinegar, tomato paste, and spices.

Instructions
- Whisk together all of the ingredients except for the water in a small bowl. Test for thickness and give it a taste.
- Adjust with more tomato paste (or sriracha or gochujang) and seasonings to your preference.
- For a thinner sauce, add water a tablespoon as a time then whisk to your preferred consistency.
Notes
- Makes about 1.5 cups (24 tablespoons)
- NOTES: Use a good Japanese mayo if possible, but any mayonnaise will work for this recipe. Use your favorite. If you feel it tastes too much like mayo, add more tomato paste, cayenne and paprika to your taste preference. I like to use extra sriracha in mine.
