"This yum yum sauce recipe is just like the one you'll find in Japanese Hibachi restaurants, made with mayo, tomato paste, cayenne and paprika. My version has a bit more kick to it...."
INGREDIENTS
•
1-1/4 cup mayonnaise (use Japanese mayo, if possible, but your favorite brand will do)
•
1 tablespoon melted butter
•
1 teaspoon tomato paste (or use sriracha or gochujang for spicier versions - I make mine with 1 tablespoon spicy sriracha)
•
1 teaspoon honey (or use agave, or sugar)
•
1 teaspoon cayenne powder
•
1 teaspoon paprika
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
2 tablespoons water (or as needed for thinning)
•
Dash of hot sauce (for a spicy version, if using tomato paste)
