Japanese Steakhouse White Sauce


My husband and I love hibachi. When we lived in Myrtle Beach, SC, there were countless inexpensive very good hibachi places. Oddly, when we moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, there are fewer affordable options, and at first, we had trouble finding any restaurants near where we live.
Because of this, I have mastered (somewhat) making our own at home. But we HAD to have the white sauce that was always served with our meals. I searched the internet and finally found a great recipe. This really tastes like the sauce we loved in restaurants, and it is super easy to make.

Ingredients:

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

*This brand was highly recommended by the person submitting the recipe, but I have used other kinds, even generic store brands, and they work fine.

Directions:

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.
