Last but not least, Yvonne tosses together an effortless sweet treat to cap off the meal. "I received the recipe for Creamy Fruit Medley from a friend of my mother's years ago," she recalls. "I always have the ingredients on hand in case I need a quick dessert. "Any flavor of gelatin works well, and sometimes I spoon it into individual parfait glasses instead of serving it in one big bowl," Yvonne suggests. "Everyone enjoys it."

YUM YUM SAUCE



Yum Yum Sauce image

This mayonnaise-based Japanese steakhouse sauce tastes glorious with grilled shrimp, chicken and vegetables, or drizzled over a plate of fried rice. Slather it on a burger, use it as a dipping sauce for fried tofu, French fries and pizza crusts, or even as a salad dressing for crunchy iceberg, romaine or Little Gem lettuce. An all-purpose sauce for everyday pleasure, yum yum sauce should taste balanced with savoriness, sweetness and a touch of acid and gosoham, the Korean word often used to describe the nuttiness of sesame oil. Remember to salt generously so all the flavors can shine.

Categories     condiments

Time 5m

Yield About 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon warm water
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Salt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the garlic powder, paprika and warm water. Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar and sesame oil, and season generously with salt. Stir until smooth.
  • Yum yum sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage and carrots.
  • Be sure to drain the cabbage and carrots well after shredding them. This will help prevent the salad from getting watery.
  • You can use any type of vinegar you like in the dressing. White vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and rice vinegar are all good options.
  • If you don't have any celery seeds, you can use caraway seeds or poppy seeds instead.
  • Be sure to chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld.
