What is Boom Boom sauce made of
Boom boom sauce is a slightly spicer version of yum yum sauce. But it does have a slightly sweet flavor due to the sweet chili sauce.
The base of our boom boom sauce recipe is mayo. When we make it, we use full fat mayo to give it a nice and creamy flavor. We find that lower fat mayos tend to not be as rich.
For extra flavor, we use a combination of sriracha sauce and garlic powder to give it some extra heat for your taste buds to endure.
Ingredients to make the best boom boom sauce
Before you can begin making boom boom sauce, you’ll need to make sure you have the following items in your kitchen:
- Mayonnaise - We prefer to use regular mayo, but you could use your preferred type.
- Ketchup - You can use your preferred brand when making this recipe.
- Sweet chili sauce - You can find this in the International or Asian aisle of the grocery store.
- Seasonings - We use a combination of sriracha sauce, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper to give the boom boom sauce some heat.
How to make boom boom sauce
You’ll find that making this sauce is super easy and then you will make it every time you have French fries. When you are ready, here’s what you need to do:
- First, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and then stir to combine. If needed, you can add a small amount of water to give it a thinner consistency.
- Finally, serve the sauce in a small bowl with French fries, corn ribs, or your favorite dippers.
But, if you are not using right away, make sure to keep the sweet spicy sauce refrigerated until ready to use.

- Thickness – You can also add some water, lemon juice, or pickle juice to get the desired consistency.

- Hot / Spicy – You can add harissa or other chili flakes and even chopped jalapeno peppers.
