Notes

Net Carbs: 1g per serving (2 tablespoons)
Recipe Yield and Serving Size: This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups for a total of 24 (2-tablespoon) servings.
Gluten Free Version: Use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce to make this gluten free.
Look for Japanese Mayo: Use Japanese mayo if you can find it.
Ketchup Substitute: Instead of ketchup, use 2 tablespoons tomato paste.
Richer Flavor: For a richer flavor, add 1 tablespoon melted butter.
For a Smooth Sauce: If you like a completely smooth sauce, omit the sambal oelek and use sriracha instead, or add up to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
To Lower the Salt: To reduce the salt, use low sodium soy sauce or omit the soy sauce.
Honey Substitute: For sweet flavor without floral notes, omit the honey and add sugar to taste, starting with 1 teaspoon.
Fresh Garlic and Ginger: To bump up the flavor even more, omit the garlic powder and dried ginger. Add 2 cloves crushed garlic and 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger.
Storage: Store Yum Yum Sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
