Sugar-Free Keto Yum Yum Sauce

Share this post

Keto yum yum sauce that tastes just like the hibachi restaurant! It is sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and paleo friendly. Enjoy it on fried cauliflower rice, burgers, salads, chicken, and shrimp.

What is Yum Yum Sauce?

Yum yum sauce is a condiment commonly served at hibachi restaurants. It is a creamy and sweet dipping sauce that is usually served with chicken, shrimp, or steak. This keto yum yum sauce is a healthier, cleaner, and sugar-free version of the one used at restaurants.

What Does Yum Yum Sauce Taste Like?

Traditionally,  yum yum sauce is fairly sweet. This keto version is sweet with just a hint of spice. The heat may be dialed up or down by increasing or increasing the amount of sriracha. For a clean and truly sugar-free sriracha sauce, try this one.

Is Sriracha Keto Friendly?

Sriracha is a spicy, tomato-based sauce that is common in Thai cuisine. The heat is derived from red chili peppers. While some brands of sriracha are cleaner than others, almost all are low enough in carbs that you can eat sriracha on keto. I have linked a clean and sugar-free version in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

How To Make This Keto Yum Yum Sauce Clean

To make your keto yum yum sauce clean, you’ll want to use whole food ingredients. Here are some ways to use clean ingredients:

  • Mayonnaise: Instead of using a soybean oil-based mayo, try avocado oil mayo instead. It has a very mild taste and works perfectly in this yum yum sauce.
  • Ketchup: Instead of sugar-free ketchup, which often has artificial sweeteners and bad oils, you can use tomato paste. If you do this, you may want to add a little extra natural sweetener.
  • Sweetener: Instead of using artificial sweeteners or refined sugar, try monkfruit, allulose, or a natural sweetener like organic cane sugar (not for keto).

Clean and organic products are linked in the recipe card below.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup or tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar free sweetener
  • 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

This one is hard to get wrong, just combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until fully incorporated.

How To Store Yum Yum Sauce

Yum yum sauce can be kept in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Remove as much air as possible to keep the sauce fresh. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Just be sure you let it thaw in the fridge when it comes time to use it again. It will also need a good stir, as the ingredients may have separated over time.

This sounds amazing! How long to do think it’d keep in the fridge? Would love to make a big batch to use all week.

I'm new to keto and have no idea what "powdered sweetener" would be. What do I actually need to buy at the store for this ingredient?

You could use powdered monkfruit, powdered erythritol, powdered allulose, etc. Any kind of low carb powdered sweetener would be fine, although, not all of them are sold in stores. I Prefer this brand.

So, I have to tell you it’s ridiculously good, haha! I make a new bowl as soon as I run out. Only thing is, I need much more than a serving size on my greens... I have to be careful there!

Thoughts on using greek yogurt as a sub for mayo? I'm going to try it, just wondering if anyone had theirs m tried that before. I've made this tons of times as is, but I don't use mayo much anymore.

You could do that but it would make the sauce much more tangy and significantly increase the carb count.
