Tips for a Delicious Sauce
  1. Consider this a base recipe, and feel free to add or swap a few ingredients (sesame seeds for an extra crunch is highly recommended). Experiment a bit, and see what satisfies your taste buds the most.
  2. For best flavor result, allow the sauce to sit for a few hours (preferably overnight) before consuming. This gives it a chance to properly meld.
  3. This is a mayo-based sauce, so try to keep the main ingredients as plain as possible. You can also replace the mayonnaise with sour cream or yogurt.
  4. If you are looking for an authentic Japanese flavor, then add a bit of Mirin. Now you know what Japanese Hibachi restaurants' secret for amazing flavors and complexity.
