Yum Yum Sauce......You know that delicious Japanese Steakhouse favorite sauce that is so delicious you want to dunk everything in it? Well, here is that recipe! It's almost too easy to make its sinful. We used all organic, clean ingredients, meaning no preservatives, added sugars or weird manmade junk we don't know what it is. If going vegan, just swap your mayo + butter for vegan options and it still is just as delish!

We also decided to create a fun little rice bowl to serve this Yum Yum sauce on, which easily lends itself to adding meat if you wish....like shrimp, chicken, and of course steak!

Ingredients:

+1/2 cup mayo (we used Chosen Foods avocado mayo)

+2 Tbls water

+1 1/2 Tbls Ketchup (we used Primal Kitchen)

+1 Tbls Butter

+1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar

+3/4 tsp garlic powder

+3/4 tsp onion powder

+3/4 tsp smoky paprika

How To:

Combine all ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together until smooth + creamy.

ENJOY!

RICE:

We cooked our rice in coconut milk, stirred in some nori strips, and kimchi. Topped with green onions, radish slivers, sesame seeds, and of course Yum Yum Sauce!!!

This is a gut friendly dish that will feed your natural glow:)
