Description

Yum Yum Sauce is a Japanese steakhouse sauce perfect for drizzling over sushi, rice bowls, noodles, meat, and seafood. This version is vegan and a little less sweet!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayo or vegan mayo
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha or Sambal Oelek or Garlic Chili Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or gluten-free liquid aminos
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, see notes)
  • 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup (or sub sugar, brown sugar or coconut sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste, or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • water to loosen, optional

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Whisk to combine.
  3. Add water for a looser consistency, a teaspoon at a time. 
  4. Feel free to adjust, adding more Sriracha, vinegar, or sweetness to taste. 

Notes

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. For increased storage time, use ground ginger powder and double the vinegar. 

You can skip the tomato paste, or sub ketchup, or leave both out entirely. To deepen the color, add a teaspoon of paprika.
