Yum Yum Sauce Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mayonnaise<\/strong> is the base that gives hibachi white sauce its rich, creamy texture. Use store-bought ( my favorite is Kewpie mayo) or homemade vegan mayo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ketchup<\/strong> adds sweetness, color, a deep tomato flavor, and a familiar tang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sriracha <\/strong>makes it spicy. You can use any fiery sauce you like or even sambal oelek<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter<\/strong> has to be melted and then cooled. This is important. So it doesn\u2019t cook the mayo. It also makes the hibachi sauce silkier and more flavorful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice wine vinega<\/strong>r adds a bit of acidity that brightens the sauce and gives it a delicious tang. Apple cider vinegar is a good substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onion & garlic powde<\/strong>r bring more depth and sharpness to the flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paprika <\/strong>adds just a mild spice. It\u2019s more for that signature color of the sauce and smokiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt:<\/strong> Be careful with how much you add because every other ingredient in the yum yum sauce recipe has salt in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
