Ginger Sauce Recipe
This dipping sauce is a copy cat recipe of Benihana's ginger dipping sauce that you love! It pairs so well with hibachi steak, chicken, shrimp, veggies, noodles, and rice.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion quartered
- 2 inch (5 cm) fresh ginger
- ½ lemon juice and zest
- ¼ cup (60 ml) rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar or coconut sugar, or turbinado sugar
- 1 cup (250 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Using a spoon, peel the ginger, then slice it roughly with a sharp knife. Slice the onion into quarters.
- You will need lemon juice and lemon zest. Using a zester, zest the lemon and juice it. Add everything to the bowl of the food processor.
- Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and brown sugar to the bowl of the food processor.
- Blitz the ingredients until you get a runny chunky paste. You don't want it to be a very smooth paste, so take it easy and use the pulse option.

Notes
- This sauce is used as a dipping sauce and can be used to dip veggies, shrimps, steak, or chicken. I also use it as a quick dressing for roasted vegetables, or as a marinade for steak.
- Store in the fridge: Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 7 days.
- Freeze: If I make a large batch, I use an ice cube tray to freeze small portions of the sauce then thaw them completely before using. Freeze and use within 4 months.
- You can substitute fresh ginger with ground ginger, but I strongly recommend that you use fresh ginger as it will give you better results.
