GORDON RAMSAY RECIPES INGREDIENTS: Yum Yum Sauce

If you have ever been to a japanese hibachi steak house, you’ve most likely encountered their infamous yum yum sauce, A.K.A. ‘japanese white sauce’.

It’s generally served in a small dish for dipping along side a ginger sauce.

I’ll be honest, when I first started trying out ways to lighten this recipe up I was less than impressed with the results that I was getting. By the third, and final attempt, I had all but given up. I tossed it into the fridge and called it a day.

Several hours later I pulled the sauce back from the fridge to serve along side my beef & broccoli. Waste not, want not, right? I tasted it again and the flavor had seemingly evolved over it’s time melding in the fridge.

While on it’s own, this sauce is a little lack-luster. It is definitely more of an additive sauce or dip as it sort of seems to make the other flavors of a dish pop and sparkle.

The original yum yum sauce is comprised mainly of full fat name brand mayo and is anything other than light, skinny, or healthy. However, I’ve managed to lighten it up with the use of greek yogurt and some common sense.

Obviously, you don’t want to overdo it and down the whole container of it all on your own in one sitting. While this is a much lighter version of the sauce you will still want to be conscious of how much of it you’re eating.

That being said… it’s nice to have on the side to dip a broccoli floret or two into!

I like to top my yum yum sauce with just a swirl of sriracha. What can I say? I like to live on the edge.

Beef and broccoli is one of those things that is always a crowd pleaser. It’s certainly one of my favorite asian dishes!

That being said, it’s likely that a serving of it at your favorite local restaurant will cost you a good 600+ calories, a lot of sugar, and even more sodium. Yikes!

It’s take-out fake-out time.

I’ve lightened this classic dish up by reducing a lot of the sugar and soy sauce that most original recipes call for. So much sugar and sodium is just unneeded, in my opinion.

By the way, have you ever tried ‘Yum Yum Sauce’? It’s also called ‘Japanese White Sauce’ at a lot of those popular hibachi steak houses.

I’ll admit, when I started working on a lighter version of Yum Yum sauce, I wasn’t too impressed. But, after three attempts and a decent outcome, I stuck the final version into the fridge and called it a day.

I pulled the Yum Yum Sauce out a few hours later to serve on the side with this dish and BAM. There it was. The taste had completely changed after the flavors melded there for a few hours together.

I topped mine with some Sriracha and was in heaven.
