I have always thought Yum Yum sauce was aptly named. That stuff is super tasty. I love to dip everything in it - Asian food or not.

OMGG CANT WAIT TO TRY IT,MY FAM WILL LOVE IT!!!

You should be able to find something on the net. I just made some yellow sauce from a recipe i found and my is it ever good. hope this helps.

I am so glad I saw this recipe! My family and I just had hibachi and I was wondering what that sauce was called; it is so delicious and I bet yours is even better than the restaurant version!

Dare I say... YUM YUM! I totally want to make this and dip shrimp in it, it seems like it would be INSANELY good! :)

I love yum yum sauce as it is a versatile dip. I usually dip shrimps or celery sticks on this sauce. So good!

Omg I live for those sauces! They are amazing!

Oh my gosh, this is my favorite sauce ever. I've never made it at home before, I'll have to give it a swing.

Oh this is perfect! 

I already have all these ingredients in my kitchen, but I really want to try it with Japanese mayo so I'll definitely add that to my list the next time I hit up the local Asian grocer. 

Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe.

Oooo I love this sauce. I never knew it is this easy to prepare at home, and I have all the ingredients to boot! Got to go to the store and grab some shrimps and some dumplings. :D

Oh my gosh!  We love this sauce!  I had no idea it was so easy to make!  I can't wait to surprise my husband with it, he is crazy about this sauce!

This looks like a wonderful Yum Yum sauce to use on that juicy shrimp. I am almost considering making my husband stop after work to fetch a few ingredients and make this tonight. If not tomorrow for sure.

Good recipe. It wasn't an exact replica of our local hibachi place's yum yum sauce but definitely very tasty. I plan to use it on Asian style tacos.

This is seriously making me hungry! YUM!!! I love this delicious version!!!

My family LOVE "Yum-Yum" sauce, so I would go &amp; buy it from the nearest Kroger! We LOVE it on everything!! From dipping our chicken, shrimp &amp; steak to dipping celery, carrots &amp; french fries!! My daughter LOVES Yum-Yum better than Ranch!! I'm going to try ur recipe &amp; wanted to say "THANK YOU" for letting us know that "Dukes" mayo can be used in this recipe!! Dukes is the ONLY mayo I use (my family loves it as well!!)

This sauce is exactly as it says - it's YUM YUM!

I was just looking for this sauce at the grocery store the other day, and they didn't stock it! So glad I can easily make this from home; yum!

Looks like a must make sauce! I will make for dinner tonight!

This is such a great recipe! I can't wait to give it a try!

Wow..this really is yum!! We love dips &amp; this has everything we love in it! Can't wait to make it!!

I always bought store brands. Realizing how easy this was to make and using this recipe I will never buy it pre-made again!

This was fantastic!  Forget cocktail sauce, this is my new go-to for shrimp.

I had no idea how easy this would be to make at home! We always order extra when we go to the restaurants! Love it!

This sauce is so amazing! It makes every recipe better! Love it.

I made this last night and served it today with a hibachi style shrimp appetizer. It was a huge hit. How long will it keep in the fridge? I have a lot left! I put in in a sealed squeeze bottle. I hope it keeps for at least a week.

Tried it last night since Kroger didn’t have any yum yum sauce available and I must say it was almost like the kind that I would get from the Hibachi restaurants here. ??

I made this vegan by using vegenaise. I air fried some teriyaki tofu with a bag of TJ veg fried rice. Tasted just like hibachi!

The recipe is great, however, I've always had a little sweeter yum yum sauce.  I added 3 tablespoons of mirin and an additional teaspoon of paprika to get the exact flavor of the restaurant yum yum sauce.  So good!  Thank you for posting this recipe!!

Homemade yum yum sauce is so darn good! It's way better than the bottled stuff!

This sauce looks a perfect dip during parties or any small gathering. Mirin is a new ingredient to me, will search about it more.

My family is ADDICTED to this sauce!! We love this so much!!

Oh yum!! What a super quick recipe. Those shrimp look to die for! I can't wait tor try this, yum, yum, right? Haha xxxxx

This sauce is something new to me. Aounds amazingly delicious. Pinned to try this.

This sauce is so easy to make and yet packs a powerful punch of YUM!! Thanks for the great recipe!

Such a great recipe. My family begs for it every time we have shrimp or scallops.

Here is a sauce I've not had in ages but as the name suggests, it certainly is yummy! This is perfect alongside a lot of different dishes and even drizzled over salad!

I've never tried this but I think i have found my next kitchen experiment. This looks so good.

Oh wow, I love this stuff. I really need to make it myself.

OMG you're my hero! The yum yum sauce is the best part of hibachi grills and now I can make it at home!

Such a great and verstile condiment! I even use it as salad dressing.

I love how easy this sauce is to make and it tastes great with everything! Our fav is over shrimp fried rice!

I've made others and they taste like French dressing....your dressing is awesome...thanks for sharing.

I made this and thought it was awesome!! Keeping it cool overnight really helped and we added a little garlic to ours. Easy and yummy!!

I absolutely love this sauce! I haven't found an off the shelf bottled sauce that tastes like restaurants make it so i found this recipe and it's awesome. I don't have rice vinegar so instead I used regular vinegar with a splash of saki for that rice flavor(I used sake because I had it available, most people won't have this in their kitchen). I also used about 3 tbsp mirin for a sweeter aftertaste.

I love yum yum sauce!  I didn't know it was so easy to make, but it is and it tasted JUST like the sauce at our local hibachi grill.

My husband LOVES yum yum sauce so naturally we had to find a recipe to make some at home. A big hit in our house so we will be making more soon I'm sure!

Shooting from the roof tops that your recipe is AMAZING!!! I’m very picky in Mayo based recipes because i have Mayo and convince myself that my favorite dips don’t have any in there lol. I looked up a bunch of recipes to find the perfect one. My favorite yum yum is from a place in NC and I’ve yet to find good sauces at my local restaurants. Your recipe called for the most authentic of ingredients I ran out to my local Asian market and grabbed the exact ones. I even made a half serving because I didn’t want to waste if we didn’t like it. OMG! It’s sooooo delicious. I’m so excited for our chicken teriyaki tomorrow with the chilled sauce!

I have made this recipe a few times now, and it is perfect. My husband cooks hibachi meat and vegetables on the outdoor griddle, and we serve with this sauce and a copycat Benihana ginger sauce. It’s like eating at a restaurant.

Thank you for taking time to share this. Folks will pay top dollar for something that takes only everyday simple condiments!
I made some last night based on my taste sensory and pleased to have come dern close. Instead of sugar, I gave it a shot of Asian sesame salad dressing.

Made this sauce this afternoon and had it on my burger for dinner it was definitely yum-yum sauce thanks for the recipe

Great! I can only imagine how good it will be once the flavors mingle.

Loved this! So easy and a really yummy sauce.

Love this sauce! SO flavorful and easy. We use it so often!
