Yum Yum Sauce is a great and easy Japanese sauce that only needs a few ingredients. It is the perfect dipping sauce for so many recipes.
If you love homemade Japanese sauces this is the perfect one for you to start with, it is the same dipping sauce I recently got at my Hibachi restaurant, and they paired it with a bunch of shrimp. I love this, and it’s easy to make and fabulous.
Whipping up homemade sauces in your kitchen is the perfect way to change our meals. If you have kids, serving ketchup with everything gets boring, and with the kids home more and more, I have been trying to change out stuff. But trust me, you will love this as much as the kids. My husband loves this on grilled chicken and mixes the sauce with his rice.

HOW DO YOU MAKE HOMEMADE YUM YUM SAUCE?
Making it is easy. All you need to do is add all of your ingredients to a small mixing bowl.
The key is really to use a whisk to mix it until the sauce is smooth. Please place it in an airtight container and then put it in the refrigerator after you make it. Yum Yum Sauce is best served cold. I usually make mine the night ahead of time, so it has time to come together.
