I remember in high school my friends and I came up with  a sauce like this to eat with pizza. I'll say this- it made school lunch a WHOLE lot better. lol!

Yeah it will completely change the flavor. Hellmans mayo is best. I wouldn't use non fat or low calorie either or any flavored. Those also change the taste.

You can absolutely use some yogurt. Specifically 2% Fage. I made this tonight with 3/4 cup Fage and 1/4 cup Hellman’s mayo and it was DELICIOUS. And I LOVE mayo. I can taste the difference between Hellman’s and other brands in restaurants, and I am not at all afraid to use straight mayo when it’s the best option. But I have found this base (1:3 ratio Hellman’s to Fage) works SO WELL in so many places that people insist on straight mayo. (I do the same base  for the white sauce that is served with Halal/Shwarma chicken and yellow rice at the street carts.).

Yes! Sometimes it is...unless you get the ginger dressing. But yum yum is delicious on literally EVERYTHING! Try it on your fried rice. It's mind blowing!!

I hope this is similar to the sauce on the yum-yum bowl at WSK? !

I am the girl at the Japanese restaurant that says "two yum yum sauce please" and then ask for refills when they come back around 0_0  ^not weird at all.

I mad this but instead of tomato paste used sweet and spicy pepper paste and it came out well.

I made with sweet and spicy pepper paste instead of tomato paste and I love it!!

I've always loved yum yum sauce. You know what makes this even better??? Letting it sit for 48 hours in the fridge for all the ingredients to really sink in and then taking it out to get to room temperature.  I also found Himalayan pink sea salt gives it an even better flavor if you are fond of sea salt.  There are inky two recipes for yum yum sauce I have liked that I've found over the last 3 to 4 years. This is one of them. I do like how it can be used instantly with the flavor but it definitely makes a difference when it sits a couple days.

WOW!  I just had to say...I "cleaned" the spoon before placing in the sink.  This sauce is amazing!  So happy I tried it.  I love your recipes and I'm making this with the Korean BBQ beef tonight-yay!
