What is the ginger sauce at hibachi restaurants?

There are two ginger “sauces” that you may recognize from hibachi restaurants. One is the ginger dressing that you’ll recognize on salads and the other is the sauce that is served alongside a full hibachi meal. It’s made with onion, ginger, soy sauce, and vinegar and it’s packed with flavor for dipping your chicken and veggies in!

This recipe is the homemade version of the classic! It’s gluten-free, soy-free, and so simple to make.

  • Step Three. Serve over fried rice or with hibachi chicken and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Tips & Tricks

  • Food processor over blender! A food processor is going to chop the large pieces of onion better and leave that chunky texture. However, if you only have a blender, that will work too.
  • The chunky texture is the goal! This isn’t a sauce that’s fully pureed. Having the bite from the ingredients in the sauce really makes it feel authentic.

How long can you keep this hibachi ginger sauce in the fridge?

You can keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Can you freeze this sauce?

This sauce is actually a bit harder to freeze as the salt content is very high in coconut aminos, making it harder to freeze. You can try to freeze it in small portions, but it may not fully harden depending on the brand of coconut aminos.
