Yum Yum Sauce Tip
Upgrade this dish by making your own Yum Yum Sauce just like the one served at hibachi places. If you want to make it from scratch, make sure you add butter, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper and a touch of sriracha if you enjoy spicy flavors. For best results, prepare the sauce one day in advance. If you manage to have any leftover sauce, you can store it in an airtight container and it should last 5 to 7 days in the fridge.
