Description
Yum Yum sauce, also known as white sauce or shrimp sauce, is a popular condiment often served in Japanese hibachi-style restaurants. It’s a creamy and slightly sweet sauce with a mild tangy flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Tomato Paste
- 1 tablespoon Melted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
