Ingredients

• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon White sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (approximately 15-20 seconds in the microwave). Let it cool slightly.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, tomato paste, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, white sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and water. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 3

If desired, add ground white pepper for a slight extra kick of flavor, and mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., add a pinch more sugar or vinegar to balance sweetness and acidity).

Step 5

Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

Step 6

Serve the sauce cold or at room temperature alongside grilled shrimp, hibachi dishes, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables and fried rice.
