What Is Yum Yum Sauce?
Yum Yum Sauce, also known as Pink Sauce, Sakura Sauce, Seafood Sauce, or Shrimp Sauce, is a popular Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse sauce that almost anyone orders. This pink Sauce is great paired with grilled meats, seafood, sushi, veggies, and even rice and noodles to elevate the flavor.

Regular yum yum sauce is not good for a keto diet since it’s made with sugar and other harmful ingredients. But fortunately, you can make a keto version of this sauce by replacing sugar with a naturally low-carb sweetener.
Ingredients For The Best 5 Minutes Yum Yum Sauce
I’m sure most of you already have all these ingredients in the kitchen, but you never thought that something so tasty would come out if you combined them. So here is everything you need:
- Mayonnaise – you can use Japanese mayo if you find it, but if you don’t, there is no problem because the regular one is just as good.
- Ketchup – use any ketchup you want; make sure that it is sugar-free. I like to use hot ketchup.
- Butter – the butter in this recipe gives that final touch to the Sauce, making it luxurious.
- Sweetener – sweetener helps to balance all tastes.
- Paprika – I like using smoked paprika for this sauce to give a more intense flavor.
- Garlic Powder – You can also use fresh garlic, but the powder mixes well in the sauce.
- Hot Sauce – if you are not a fan of spicy food, you can skip this ingredient, but trust me, that hot taste will not feel so strong; instead, it will pair perfectly with all the ingredients.
- Water – this ingredient is used for thinning.
