Ingredients

Sesame Seeds – This tasty dipping sauce recipe uses hulled or unhulled white sesame seeds.

Ground Mustard Powder – Ground yellow mustard seeds powder gives a very unique taste to this dipping sauce. You can make your own mustard powder by grinding yellow mustard seeds in a grinder.

Do not use brown mustard seeds to make the powder as they are slightly bitter in taste.

Soy Sauce – Dark soy sauce adds an umami flavor! Replace it with coconut aminos or tamari to make it gluten-free.

Garlic Powder – Just a little adds so much flavor. Do not skip on this one.

Heavy Cream – It makes the base of the sauce.

How To Make Hibachi Mustard Sauce

Dry roast 1 tablespoon of hulled or unhulled white sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Stir frequently while roasting.

Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.

Dissolve 1 tablespoon ground mustard seeds powder in 2 tablespoon hot water to make a lump-free paste.

Combine toasted sesame seeds, ¼ cup dark soy sauce, mustard seeds paste, and 1 pinch of garlic powder in a blender or a food processor bowl. Blend until smooth.

In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream on medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.

Add the sesame seeds paste and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.

Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce come down to room temperature. Serve!

Serving Suggestions

This Magic Mustard Sauce is a versatile sauce that tastes good with almost everything. My favorites to serve it with are Hibachi Steak, Hibachi Chicken, Hibachi Fried Rice, Hibachi Vegetables, and Hibachi Noodles.

Storage Suggestions

Japanese Mustard Sauce will last for up to 7 days in an airtight container stored in the fridge, but it is better to consume it within 3 days.
