    About Hibachi Mustard Sauce (Benihana Steakhouse Copycat Magic Mustard Dipping Sauce)

    If you have ever been to Benihana’s Japanese Steakhouse, you know about this Hibachi Mustard Sauce they serve on the side with all their dishes.

    Also known as Magic Mustard Sauce, Japanese Mustard Sauce, or Cream Sauce, this Benihana’s Copycat Hibachi Dipping Sauce is really addictive and once you have a taste of it, you will want to serve it with everything.

    After multiple trials, I cracked the recipe to make this classic Hibachi Steakhouse Mustard Sauce at home and the taste of my homemade sauce was pretty close to the one served at the restaurant.

    Made in just 15 minutes using 6 simple ingredients, this creamy dipping sauce is a must-make if you are planning a hibachi-style dinner at home. Serve it with Hibachi Steak, Hibachi Style Chicken, or Hibachi Fried Rice.

    You can easily double or triple the recipe too.

    Ingredients

    Hibachi mustard sauce 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 dry 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 this one.

    Heavy Cream – It makes the base of the sauce.

    You can add a little fish sauce for a nice umami taste.

    You can add a little lemon juice to the recipe for a tangy taste.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    Toasting the sesame seeds gives a very earthy flavor to this sauce. DO NOT skip this step.

    Do not overcook the cream otherwise, it may curdle.

    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 Shrimp, Hibachi Chicken, Hibachi Fried Rice, Hibachi Vegetables, and Hibachi Noodles.

    Bring it to room temperature before serving.

    You can try it with your other favorite chicken dishes and steak recipes. This fabulous dipping sauce pairs very well with Teppanyaki Style meats.

    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.
