If you’ve ever eaten
at Benihana restaurant or a similar
hibachi grills, you have likely begun
salivating when you dunk a succulent
piece of steak into their famous
hibachi ginger sauce.
Every time we go to Benihana, I end
up dousing my steak, shrimp,
veggies and rice with that stuff. That
hibachi ginger flavor is just the best!
This is one of those flavorful sauces
that can be used with just about any
type of dish.
Benihana ginger sauce always pops
into my head when I’m thinking up
the perfect dressing for a simple green
salad or a topping for my next healthy
dinner.
Turn this easy sauce into hibachi
steak, hibachi chicken, hibachi shrimp
or hibachi salmon!
No need
x to pay a visit to a restaurant
to get my hands on it. I can make it
in my own kitchen easily!
Acts as a great marinade for any type
of meat.
Re c i p e I n g r e d i e nt s
Ginger – When at all possible, start
with fresh ginger root. Substitute
ground ginger only if needed.
White vinegar – This can be replaced
with another variety such as rice
vinegar or rice wine vinegar, if
needed.

Soy sauce – To make this a gluten-free
sauce, use a GF variety of soy sauce or
replace entirely with coconut aminos.
For a less salty end result, use a low
sodium soy sauce for the recipe.
Lemon juice – Use freshly squeezed
lemons for best results. Add 1
teaspoon of lemon zest for added
freshness.
Onion – Replace a portion of the
yellow onion with green onions, if
desired.

Hibachi Ginger
Sauce
According to their
site, Benihana Japanese steakhouse
prides themselves in preparing the
sauce they serve fresh and making it
daily. But that’s why we decided to
concoct a recipe ourselves and share it
with you!

Since they don’t share their recipe, we
took what we know to be some very
flavorful ingredients and tested it until
it was the perfect combination of
flavors to mimic their sauce.
H ow To M a ke G i n g e r
Sauce
Start with your food processor. It’s
handy, easy to clean and it’s a tool I
use often.
Toss in the onions and fresh ginger
root, followed by 3/4 cup soy sauce
and remaining ingredients.
Transfer to a small bowl and stir,
creating a chunky sauce that will be
perfect as your condiment for many
healthy recipes!
Cover and refrigerate until ready to
serve.
Re c i p e N ote s
This sauce can be enjoyed
immediately but will taste even better
after a day of marinating.
If you don’t own a food processor, you
can easily grate the onion and ginger
by hand.
Store in an airtight container in the
fridge. Best when used within 5 days of
preparing it.
Add a minced garlic clove or two for a
flavor boost.
Spice up the recipe by adding red
pepper flakes, cayenne pepper or a
dash of hot sauce.
For a touch of sweetness, consider
adding 1 tablespoon of brown sugar or
honey.
A tablespoon of sesame oil or dark
sesame oil adds a delicious flavor.
Can be served chilled or at room
temperature.
There is absolutely no need to limit
this sauce to only Chinese cuisine.
There are so many delicious ways to
enjoy it, including on Italian recipes,
Thai recipes and even Indian recipes.
Freeze sauce by pouring into an ice
cube tray, then transfer cubes to a
freezer storage bag.
Fresh Ginger vs
Ground Ginger
When making this inspired sauce, when
at all possible you want to use fresh
ginger. Buying a small stalk of ginger
root is very affordable and provides so
much more pungency (in the best way)
to the sauce.
Substitute ground ginger when
needed, but ground ginger is more
commonly used in baked goods or
drinks.
Can Ginger Be
Frozen
Ginger can definitely be frozen. To
freeze, first peel and grate it or cut
thinly. Flash freeze in a single layer for
20 minutes, then transfer to an
airtight container. Use within 6
months for best results.
H ow To T e l l I f
Ginger Is Bad
Ginger that is no longer fresh or safe
to eat will be mushy to the touch, and
may also have a sharp, unpleasant
odor.
W h a t To D o W i t h
Ginger Sauce
It is a great condiment or marinade
for seafood, steak, beef tips, pork
chops, chicken or any type of main
dishes.
Use ginger dipping sauce to dip Asian
appetizers into, such as egg rolls,
wontons or potstickers (top with
sesame seeds before serving!).
Use as a salad dressing ingredients for
green salads.
Enjoy it tossed in a stir fry meal or
over pasta.
Use it as a topping on your next juicy
burger.
Add to a side dish of quinoa or fried
rice.
Great topping for baked sweet
potatoes.
Consider using it as a dipping sauce
for Air Fryer Broccoli, Meatballs, Steak
Bites or Slow Cooker Veggies!
Any food you enjoy dipping in soy
sauce will likely taste good with ginger
sauce, too.
