Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin see notes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons cool water

Instructions

Whisk together mayo, ketchup, rice vinegar, mirin, garlic powder, paprika, and water. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Notes

As a substitute for mirin, mix 1 tablespoon white wine, dry sherry, or vermouth with 1 teaspoon sugar.
Tomato paste can be substituted, but you may want to include 1-3 teaspoons of granulated sugar to sweeten it a little.
Add a couple pinches of cayenne pepper for a little extra kick.
If the sauce is too thick to your liking, add 1 teaspoon cold water until desired consistency.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
