Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, measure and add the Japanese (kewpie) mayonnaise, ketchup, (unseasoned) rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder and paprika.
Gently whisk until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to use. Yum yum sauce tends to thicken up more in the fridge, so you might want to remove 30 minute prior to serving.

FOR A THINNER SAUCE:

If wanting a more drizzly yum yum sauce, consider thinning it out with 1 to 4 tablespoons of water.
