Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 2 to 3 tbsp water
  • Salt, to taste

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  2. Add melted butter and 2 tablespoons water; whisk. Add up to 1 more tablespoon water to reach your preferred drizzly consistency.
  3. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve, or refrigerate for later.

Notes

Chilling the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving lets the flavors blend and deepen, but you can dig in right away. Adjust the water amount based on how you plan to use it—less for a thick dip, more for a drizzle over rice bowls.
