Yum Yum Sauce (Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse Sauce)

Also known as Sakura sauce (white sauce). This is a dipping sauce commonly found in Japanese steakhouses. It’s a Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie) based sauce with mirin (rice wine), rice vinegar, garlic powder, sweet paprika and ketchup.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, mirin, garlic granules, sweet paprika, and cool water.
