yum yum sauce recipe easy with Paprika Pink Drizzle
- Total Time: 37 minutes
- Yield: About 10 servings (2 tbsp each) 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This homemade Yum Yum Sauce offers a vibrant, creamy texture and a perfectly balanced sweet-savory flavor profile, transforming simple grilled chicken or rice bowls. It is an easy, reliable recipe for quick, family-friendly dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp onion powder
- 1 to 2 tbsp water
- 0.25 tsp paprika, for pink drizzle
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sugar, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Whisk Until Smooth: Whisk vigorously until the sauce is smooth and uniform, with no lumps. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of water.
- Adjust Consistency: Add 1-2 tablespoons of water, slowly, until your yum yum sauce reaches a creamy, pourable texture. It should drizzle easily.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce. Adjust with a pinch more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or spices for depth. Aim for a balanced, slightly sweet profile.
- Prepare Paprika Drizzle: Transfer about 2 tablespoons of sauce to a tiny bowl. Stir in 0.25 teaspoon of paprika until it turns a lovely pink hue. This Paprika Pink Drizzle adds visual appeal.
- Chill or Serve: Chill the sauce in an airtight container for at least 30 minutes for best flavor development. The flavors will meld beautifully. Enjoy immediately if desired.
Notes
For healthier options, consider organic mayonnaise, low-sugar ketchup, or natural sweeteners like maple syrup. For an extra smooth sauce, use a blender or food processor. Adjust consistency (too thick: add water; too thin: add mayonnaise) and flavor (too sweet: add vinegar; too bland: add spices) as needed. Store sauce in an airtight container.
