Our mayo-based sauce can be used as a dipping sauce, a condiment on sandwiches, or drizzled over poke bowls. It’s such a tasty and versatile condiment, I know you’ll find lots of uses for our bang bang sauce.

I first tried this creamy sauce at Bonefish Grill, but I like our homemade version better. It tastes great, and I get to control the ingredients.
Ingredients for Bang Bang Sauce
Gather the ingredients to prepare our bang bang sauce recipe. Culinary professionals call this the “Mise en Place,” which means “everything in its Place.”
Setting up your ingredients not only helps speed up the cooking process but also ensures you have all the necessary ingredients on hand to make the recipe.
Can I change up the ingredients?
You sure can. Our Bonefish Grill Restaurant copycat recipe has four simple ingredients. But you can easily adapt it to your taste preference.
For a more savory sauce, add garlic powder and onion powder. Add a little cayenne pepper to kick up the spice level of this delicious sauce. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey to the mixture and cut back on the sriracha.
Add rice wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice to give the mixture a little more tang.
We made the recipe with sriracha, but you can also use your favorite hot sauce to make the recipe. You can also swap out the honey for maple syrup or agave.
If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise-based sauces, make this tasty sauce with sour cream or Greek yogurt. For a lighter version, use low-fat ingredients.

Recipe FAQ’s
No, they’re not. Although they may look similar, Yum Yum sauce is a vinegary, tomato-based sauce with many more ingredients and not the same level of heat.
However, both sauces are served with similar dishes.
Both sauces are similar, but Boom Boom sauce is typically made with additional ingredients. They both are mayo-based and have sweet chili sauce and sriracha, but Boom Boom sauce will have tomato paste (or ketchup), mustard, and additional spices.
