How do you make the white Japanese fish sauce?
I went to a Japanese restaurant and they served me 3 kinds of sauces. One was ginger sauce, red shrimp sauce and the third was a white sauce that was soooo good. What is in it and how do you make it? Is there a recipe online for this type of sauce?
Thanks

There are actually two ways to make Japanese white sauce. The first uses store-bought mayonnaise. The second involves making your own mayonnaise. The end result tastes the same if you do it properly.
Frankly, I find it a lot easier to use prepared mayonnaise. The sauce is less likely to separate with store-bought mayonnaise, as Hellmann's has years of practice getting it right.
Do NOT attempt to use low fat or reduced calorie mayo - it changes the taste significantly!
Japanese Steakhouse White Sauce - Easy Recipe
1-1/4 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise *
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon paprika
dash cayenne pepper
Using a fork or a whisk, blend all ingredients together thoroughly until well mixed and the sauce is smooth. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving.
The sauce will NOT taste right if you don't let it sit overnight. And please don't try to substitute ketchup for the tomato paste! The water is needed to bring this to the right consistency.
