Homemade Yum Yum Sauce Recipe

Yum Yum Sauce is a staple at Japanese Hibachi restaurants and is so delicious! Hibachi is a method of cooking meat, vegetables, and seafood on a high-heat metal cooking plate, and at Japanese restaurants in North America, this sauce is almost always on the table with your meal! This is so easy and simple that you’ll wonder why you’ve waited so long to try it. You can find this sauce sold at stores, but this is much easier to make from home. Try serving it with some shrimp, drizzling it on this sushi bake, or even dipping your fries in it!

Yum Yum Sauce Ingredients

These ingredients are so simple, but they pack a punch when it comes to flavor! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

Mayo: The mayonnaise acts as a creamy base for the sauce. Rice Vinegar: Adds a zing of deliciousness but is a MUST for yum yum sauce. Tomato Paste: Do not substitute this with ketchup. Paprika: I use sweet paprika in this recipe (NOT smokey) Garlic Powder: The garlic flavor complements the other flavors so well. Sugar: The sugar counteracts the acid in the tomato paste and binds everything together. Butter: I use unsalted butter in this recipe. Salt and Pepper: These enhance all of the flavors in the sauce. Water: The water thins the sauce to the right consistency.
