The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Homemade Yum Yum Sauce (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy to print recipe card):
- Mayonnaise – use any mayonnaise you like.
- Ketchup
- Granulated sugar – be aware that as the sauce chills the sugar will melt into the sauce, making it look a bit separated. This is normal and is fixed with a quick stir.
- Paprika
- Rice vinegar – you could also use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- Garlic powder
- Water – the water is used to thin the sauce to the right consistency.
How to Make Yum Yum Sauce
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sugar, paprika, vinegar, and garlic powder until smooth.
Stir in the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and stir well before serving.
What to Eat with Yum Yum Sauce

- Steamed white or brown rice
- Shrimp
- Hibachi style or stir-fried chicken or beef with vegetables
How to Store Leftovers
Keep the sauce in an airtight container or a glass jar with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Stir well before serving.
