Yum Yum Sauce Recipe

This is an easy variation on the creamy, savory-sweet Japanese steakhouse sauce that’s served with meat, seafood, and veggies. It’s also a go-to in my house for burgers and fries. This version uses sweet Thai chili sauce in place of ketchup for even more tangy-sweet flavor with just a subtle spice. If you like it spicier, add some Sriracha to taste!
