We are having a fondue at Kim's for New Year's Day and I make the sauce for them. I would call this a shrimp sauce, but it goes on everything in our family!..the rice, the tempura vegetables, and all the meats. I don't think we could have a fondue without it..it just wouldn't be worth it..LOL. Anyway, I decided to post the recipe so I wouldn't have to keep digging for it down the line and others could also try it. Here goes.
Gaile's Version of Benihana Sauce:
in a container with a lid, whisk together:
2 cups real mayonnaise
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
dash or two of salt
1 Tablespoon of garlic JUICE. (I always have the minced garlic in a jar in my fridge and use the juice from that)
3-4 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon pepper
and one 12 oz bottle of Heinz chili sauce.
(optional: you can add a little horseradish if you want more zing-I don't though generally)
put in fridge for several hours or overnight..serve.
