Tips for Making Yum Yum Sauce
This Yum Yum Sauce Recipe is incredibly easy to make in less than 5 minutes. I like mine a bit more sweet so I may add a tiny bit more sugar. You may like yours a bit more savory, so add a little more garlic or paprika. If you like it spicy, you can always add a little sriracha too.
I also like to leave this yum yum sauce recipe a little thicker when I use it as a dipping sauce by adding less water. Then adding a little more water to thin the sauce out to use for drizzling over my favorite rice bowl.
