Homemade Yum Yum Sauce


I have been searching for this recipe for awhile now and I finally have it! Every time we go to our favorite restaurant I take notes on how they fry up the rice, meat, veggies, etc. They keep the pan HOT, use only soy sauce to season, and cook everything quickly to sear the outside and keep the inside tender. Got it. But they don't divulge the ingredients for the Yum Yum sauce which really makes the meal.


The ingredients are super simple:

Yum Yum Sauce

1 Cup Mayonnaise
1/4 Cup Water
1 tsp Tomato Paste
1 tbsp Melted Butter
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Paprika
1 dash Cayenne Pepper (I did not use this)

Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is creamy. Do not add all the water at once. Add a little at a time until you get the consistency you want. Refrigerate over night.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to eat fried rice without it again. Next time I'll try a low fat mayo and see how that goes.

You've solved the mystery! My husband and I love the Yum Yum sauce at the local hibachi restaurant and I've been meaning to try to recreate it at home. Thanks for this - he'll be thrilled!

Thanks for posting this! I found it on Pintrest. I lightened it up by using fat free mayo and smart balance butter spread. This makes it only 2 Weight Watchers points!

Actually, many times it's something a lot more simple --> Mayo + Srirachi Sauce. :)
