Getting Lost in the Yumm Sauce

how to use it up so nothing goes to waste

I hear this in my head every time

Hey my lovely Potheads! This week is all about using what we’ve got so I’m going to show you a few more ways I like to use my Yumm! Sauce dupe. Last week I showed you how to build a classic Yumm! Bowl with it but there are so many other ways to use this new fridge staple. The original Yumm! Sauce crew have lots of recipes on their website too if you’re currently addicted and want even more ideas. We’re not the only one being creative though. If you’re not in the subscriber chat, then you missed out on Patrick showing all of us how his wife Cindy used the sauce on my Cobb salad recipe from Party Grub for delicious and gorgeous results.

A good sauce can make a lot of easy meals possible. Instead of a bowl, I’ve used it as a dressing on my taco salads, which I highly recommend. Also, I used this tutorial to make flour tortilla bowls in my air fryer which made the whole thing feel like a night out at a restaurant instead of one of my lazier dinners. A true win-win. This sauce also pairs really well with potatoes whether you serve it as a dip for oven roasted fingerling potatoes or mix it into your sauce when you make some scalloped potatoes. When the weather cools down, I like to roast whole sweet potatoes, split them open, and fill them with home cooked beans or chili with all the fixing and drizzle some of this sauce over the whole mess. It’s filling, delicious, and the leftovers taste just as good as the first day you made it. That’s what I’m looking for when I really don’t have time to cook dinner every damn night, leftovers that don’t look or taste like leftovers.

This is my favorite everyday sandwich: toasted sourdough, dijon, a little mayo or hummus, red onion, avocado, lettuce, and a good slice of tomato. Nothing fancy but it always hits the spot.

I also use this sauce a lot in my tofu marinades, particularly when I’m making tofu for sandwiches. It gives the tofu a lot of flavor but leaves it versatile enough that you can mix and match it with a lot of different sandwich fixings. It’s savory, full of umami, and pairs well with whatever kind of sandwich you’re building. I’ll make a big batch all at once, throw it in the oven, and then I have enough tofu to make sandwiches for lunch all week with very little effort. I’m going to share my basic recipe below but I’m leaving the sandwich building up to you. If you don’t know how to build a sandwich, we’ve got bigger problems than how to use up your leftover sauce.
