Ingredients
Method
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, melted butter, mirin, rice vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and granulated sugar.
- Whisk all ingredients thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, whisking until your desired consistency is reached.
- Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- For optimal flavor, refrigerate the sauce overnight before serving.
- Transfer the prepared Yum Yum Sauce to an airtight jar or container.
- Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Serve chilled with your favorite grilled meats, seafood, or fries.
Notes
- For the most authentic flavor, let your yum yum sauce chill for at least 2 hours, or even better, overnight. I've found that this resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a much more complex and satisfying taste.
- If your sauce is too thick, gradually add small amounts of water, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired pouring consistency. Be careful not to thin it out too much.
- Store leftover yum yum sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. After a week, the flavors may start to diminish. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
