Hibachi Ginger Sauce Recipe
This hibachi-style ginger sauce is bold, tangy, and packed with fresh flavor—just like the dipping sauce you get at Japanese steakhouses. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fried rice, seafood, or stir-fried veggies. Quick to make and loaded with real ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (peeled and chopped)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove (optional, for added depth)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or sesame oil (optional for a smoother texture)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (onion, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, water, and garlic if using) into a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth—about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
- Taste and adjust — add more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tang.
- Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine mesh sieve after blending.
- Goes great with hibachi chicken, steak, or shrimp.
- Add sesame oil for a deeper flavor profile.
- Best served slightly chilled or at room temperature.
