My Attempt at Yumm Sauce


 Reader beware: Yumm Sauce can be addictive. Proceed with caution.

Yumm sauce is the most famous creation from Cafe Yumm, a low-key casual restaurant founded in Eugene, Oregon. Cafe Yumm serves rice bowls which they call Yumm! Bowls, salads, and sandwiches all made with very fresh ingredients.Yumm Bowls are super easy to put together: rice, black beans, Yumm sauce, cheese (Tillamook cheddar is best!), fresh tomato, avocado, sour cream, black olives, and cilantro.


The key to its rice bowls is most definitely their Yumm Sauce. You can purchase the sauce at the cafe or at a few different grocery stores in Oregon but it is expensive, around $5 for a jar. While not exactly the same as Yumm sauce, this recipe comes awfully close. As far as homemade meals go, the ingredients for Yumm sauce are more expensive than many recipes but it's delicious and stretches pretty far. We had Yumm bowls for a few days in a row and still had a bit of sauce leftover.

I have never made my Yumm sauce with soybeans. I didn't know you were able to get them until recently. I have always used soy nuts which you can get at many supermarkets (probably even those in Wyoming). While not necessary, I like to soak them first then drain the excess water. This makes for a smoother sauce. Enjoy!
