What is Yum Yum Sauce?

This sauce is really just a yummy sauce that is generally used at hibachi restaurants, at least that is where I always find it. There are tons of names for this sauce such as white sauce or hibachi sauce.

What do you call this where you live? I used to live in south Florida where we called this yum yum sauce, but since moving to Orlando, people here call it white sauce.

It is a mayo-based, or in this case, yogurt-based, sauce that is sweet and tangy. But, it really just provides a great dipping sauce for hibachi meats, veggies and rice.

A lot of people get this sauce confused with bang bang sauce; however, that is a completed different sauce.

Ingredients:

These are the ingredients to make the best yum yum sauce; however, we can go over suggestions later.

I always use G Hughes sugar free ketchup. You can order some here.

How to Make Homemade Yum Yum Sauce

Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small container. Store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or all day, to allow the flavors to form together.

This is not too spicy of a dish. However, you can adjust the sriracha sauce or ketchup to your liking.

What to Serve with Yum Yum Sauce

This is a creamy base sauce that is sweet and tangy. But, it really provides a great dipping sauce for hibachi meats, veggies and rice. Try out my teriyaki chicken or fried rice with this sauce; however, you can really put it on anything.

Recipe Variations

It is a mayo-based, or in this case, yogurt-based, sauce that is sweet and tangy. I do use plain, non-fat greek yogurt for this recipe; however, you can use mayo or even sour cream.

I also typically use almond milk and granular sugar replacement; however, things have just gotten so expensive that I am using what I have on hand this time, which is whole milk and actual sugar.

Another great suggestion is to amp up the sriracha sauce if you like it spicy. However, you can also add a little more ketchup if you prefer more of a sweeter, tomato taste.

How to Store Yum Yum Sauce

Be mindful of when you opened your yogurt. A Greek yogurt is typically only good, opened, for 5 days in the fridge. To store the actual sauce, place it in an air tight container in the fridge. You can keep the sauce for up to 5 days from when the yogurt was opened.

I will only sauce the protein and sides that I am eating and then store everything separately in the fridge. I do not find that the meal holds up well in the fridge being pre-sauced.

expert tips

After mixing together all the ingredients, store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow all of the flavors to mend together.
