What is Yum Yum Sauce
Seeing it at restaurants and knowing it had dairy in it, I hadn’t tried it, but was really curious. I mean, it’s called yum yum sauce. So, I started looking into it and making it myself, and fell in love.
The story of its beginning is that it was created in America at a Japanese steakhouse, and it was given the name yum yum sauce because it was so good.
How to make yum yum sauce
The mayonnaise that I use is Chosen Foods Classic Mayo with Avocado Oil. I usually buy it from Costco. It’s a really tasty gluten-free mayo.
Pick a ketchup that is gluten-free and has no high fructose corn syrup.
Place all of the ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until combined. Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to blend.
This recipe is so easy to make, you’ll turn to it over and over.
How to store
Store in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Ways to serve it
I love using it as a dipping sauce with my roasted veggies, over my rice bowls, with baked chicken, gluten-free zucchini fritters, or even spread on a hamburger. There are so many ways to enjoy it.
