Can you make or buy the Ginger Sauce like the kind at Shogun Japanese Steakhouse?
I love the ginger sauce served at Shogun Japanese Steakhouse. It's the reddish colored dipping sauce served in a small shallow side dish along side a dish of wasabi mustard, if you want it. I'd like to know how to make this sauce or where to buy this sauce. Can you help?
Thanks!
Answers: Supposedly this is it:
SHOGUN DIPPING SAUCE:
1/3 cup Japanese soup stock (dashi)
2 Tbs. sweet cooking rice wine (mirin)
2 Tbs. soy sauce
2 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbs. flaked dried bonito (katsuo-bushi)
1/2 tsp. red pepper mix (shichimi togarashi), or 1 teaspoon chili sauce like sambal olek or sriracha to taste
1/4 tsp. sesame oil
In a small pan, heat dashi, mirin, soy sauce and lemon juice to simmering. Add flaked bonito. Remove from heat and let stand until flakes settle to bottom of pan. Strain broth and discard flakes. Add red pepper mix and sesame oil.
In a bowl, cover 1 cup julienned daikon with ice water and let stand for 30 minutes to crisp.
Pour sauce into individual dipping bowls. Float a few green onion slices in each bowl and garnish with daikon. Serves 6 to 8 as part of a multi-course meal. At the grocery store, find the area where you buy water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, soy sauce, etc... and other specialty foods. Here you go:
Shogun Japanese Steakhouse Ginger Salad Dressing.
1/2 cup minced onions
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds or until all of the ginger is well-pureed.
