Easy Yum Yum Sauce (Hibachi Style)

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise

• 2 tbsp ketchup

• 1 tbsp melted butter

• 1 tsp sugar

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1–2 tbsp water (to thin, as needed)

Optional but recommended

• ½ tsp onion powder

• A dash of cayenne or chili powder (tiny kick)

Instructions

1. Dump everything in a bowl.

2. Whisk until smooth.

3. Add water a little at a time until it’s pourable.

4. Taste → adjust (more sugar = sweeter, more paprika = smokier).

Pro tip: Let it sit in the fridge 30–60 minutes if you can. It gets better as it chills.

Variations (if you wanna get fancy)

• More authentic: Add 1 tsp rice vinegar

• Sweeter: +½ tsp sugar

• Spicy yum yum: A squirt of sriracha

• Garlic lover: Fresh grated garlic instead of powder

Perfect on shrimp, chicken, steak, fried rice… or just a spoon if nobody’s watching. 😏
