A healthier homemade version of the classic Japanese steakhouse favorite — creamy yum yum sauce drizzled over a nourishing rice bowl layered with kimchi, nori, sesame, and fresh crunchy toppings.
You know that sauce at Japanese steakhouses that somehow makes you want to dip absolutely everything into it?
This is that sauce.
Creamy. Tangy. Smoky. Slightly sweet. Completely addictive.
And honestly…it’s almost offensive how easy it is to make at home.
The best part is we made this version with clean simple ingredients instead of all the preservatives and mystery oils hiding in most bottled versions.
And yes — it tastes every bit as good.
We ended up turning it into a fun little glow bowl situation with rice, kimchi, nori, sesame seeds, and fresh crunchy toppings…and now we make some version of this constantly.
It’s one of those meals that feels comforting while still packed with nourishing ingredients.
Packed with probiotics that help support gut health and digestion.
Mineral-rich ingredients that help support overall wellness and nourishment.
Avocado mayo creates a creamy rich texture while helping keep the sauce more balanced.
Adds richness and comfort while making the bowl extra satisfying.
Easy to customize with shrimp, chicken, steak, tofu, or extra vegetables depending on what sounds good.
Optional:
Optional protein:
Add all yum yum sauce ingredients to a bowl.
Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
To build the bowl, cook your rice with a splash of coconut milk for extra richness.
Stir in nori strips and kimchi.
Top with green onions, radishes, sesame seeds, and a generous drizzle of yum yum sauce.
Serve warm.
I love recipes like this because they prove comfort food and nourishing food absolutely can exist together.
Big flavor. Fun textures. Cozy bowls.
Honestly one of my favorite ways to eat.
