    There is a night and day difference between just mixing everything in a bowl vs heating all the ingredients in the double boiler. I mixed the mayo, ketchup, heavy cream and spices and tasted them before adding them to the double boiler. Heating up those spices really brings out the flavor of the spices and smooths out the graininess. The butter also makes it better too. UPDATE 8/28/23: I ran out of heavy cream and I tried using whole milk. It resulted in a thinner sauce with a similar consistency to the original. I love the heavy cream, however it thickens up a little too much in my opinion after refrigeration. Swap the heavy cream with whole milk at a 1:1 ratio. It will thicken up in the refrigerator. Or try half whole milk, half heavy cream if you like slightly thicker sauces.

I split my batch in two and used a hot smoked paprika in half of it and it worked beautifully. I used it to top of a bowl of dirty rice and that smoky and spicy kick was just right.

    Just a bit if historical info on this sauce, it was an original called shrimp sauce served in a restaurant called Samurai located in Golden Valley, MN. This was a staple teppanyaki restaurant in the twin cities since the 80s. They were bought out by Benihana roughly early 2000s. For months this sauce was not served, as the Benihana brand had zero idea it existed, less the thousands of regulars that were constantly asking for shrimp sauce. After a while they finally added it back on the menu, and I'm guessing it went to corporate. My mother was able to get an employee to give her the recipe over 20+ years ago, and the secret was always heavy cream and paprika for the pink color. Maybe it was a recipe used in other places besides Samurai, but Benihana had no idea what it was at first, and 100% did not want to serve it for months. There would say the sauce was not a Benihana sauce. It took allot of people complaining for them to finally dig up the recipe again and serve it.

    @@farmageddon I tried to find a recipe for this sauce years ago when we could only get it at a restaurant in Miami (which eventually got bought out by Benihana). We asked many times, but they were very protective of the recipe, obviously. If I recall correctly at that time, Benihana only offered the mustard sauce which is very different, so when we moved away, we were sad to not be able to go to our favorite Hibachi place and get this sauce. Years later, Benihana seemed to begin to roll it out to other FL locations and now it's offered at least to the other locations we've been to. When I was working on trying to dupe it, I began with some recipes online and I got pretty close, but it just wasn't quite right. Thank you for sharing your efforts, I can't wait to try both the dupe and your elevated version!

    My Man...My man...MY MAN!!!! You are my own small culinary hero with this. I have tried so many Yum Yum (Shrimp) sauce recipes and they have all been lacking....till now. Cincinnati had a Benihana's downtown that has a Shrimp sauce that was like crack to me and my ex-wife's family. It was different than what we would get at many other Benihanas. My ex said it was because that location was originally a Shogun or Samurais of something. When Benihanas took over though they kept the shrimp sauce and sadly that location was closed a few years ago.. You're amp'd up version in this video is DEAD ON to that sauce. I made up some Kewpie using @BrianLagerstrom recipe and the combo of that and your technique/seasoning blend nails it. I can't wait to try more of your recipes as they all sound great.

    Hey, thanks Jason! I really appreciate you!! One note: if you're making fried rice based off of my video - everything is correct other than the ratio of water to rice. You should really wash the rice first and then use an equal ratio of water to rice. I said to use too much water in the video. So, just a heads up. Marion's Kitchen has a good tutorial on how to cook rice for fried rice. Of if you have a rice cooker, that's even better. I'll be doing another fried rice video here within the next month that you'll be able to reference, but until then, just be mindful of using too much water, because it will turn out mushy!

    @@farmageddon thanks for the tip. Up until watching your videos I was making the fried rice and buying the sauces and garlic butter at Benihana. But I would notice a small discrepancy with the rice because I would do the same, water to rice ratio was a bit over. However, after it would dehydrate and cool it appeared fine until the cooking process began. I would notice it would take a bit longer to fry in the wok as the rice most likely held onto some water. But, this time around, I will use equal ratio as you mentioned. In addition, I bought the Calrose rice. I’ll keep you posted tomorrow on the final outcome.

    The regular mayonnaise version will be exactly what you’ll find at the restaurant. I do tend to oversalt things because I worked in restaurants for years. So you may want to dial back any salty ingredients and adjust afterwards.

    Hello! I got this recipe from a family friend who managed a Benihana for 20+ years. I had been looking for the recipe for years, but I randomly ran into him and he wrote it down for me. I have access to all the old Benihana websites from archive.org, but I've never seen the Yum Yum sauce on there. Would you mind sharing your recipe so I can take a look? Also, I have access to their corporate recipe book (the yum yum isn't in there) and some of the recipes that were listed on the website are a little different than what they posted on the web. Anyhoo, thanks for watching! I really appreciate your support! I'd love to check out your recipe! Thanks again!!

Some came close to what I remembered, but for some reason, once I tried them with shrimp or even on top of fried rice, there's only a hint of the sauce flavor. I'm hoping the "heavy cream" in your recipe will solve this problem since it sounds like the extra bit of fat from the cream will adhere the sauce to the food better.

    I've been reversed engineering all sorts of food since I was 10 years old I've been able to recreate anything I eat and can pick out what ingredients are in something after I eat it. That being said that's a totally good call on the mustard powder and white pepper for that peppery kick of heat in the sauce that's exactly what I would have done as well LOL. People don't use enough mustard powder in things. I've seen so many people make deviled eggs with actual yellow mustard instead of mustard powder and it's unedible. Mustard powder and white pepper are always things I keep on hand in my seasoning cabinet. My entire childhood was spent with my Korean friends since birth so I grew up eating a lot of Asian food so white pepper is a staple

Apparently, people like it to dip pretty much everything in. But it’s most popular for shrimp, meats and, strangely enough, to top fried rice! If you ever make it, let me know if you like it! It’s kind of like a more flavorful Thousand Island dipping sauce. Just for reference! Nice to see you again!!

    There are regional differences to "Yum" sauce. If you've had the version that uses mirin and rice vinegar in restaurants your entire life, the Benihana yum sauce can taste gross and may taste too much like the grocery store Yum sauce.

    I finally made the recipe and, after eating local Japanese steakhouse yum sauce for many years, this is awful. The local stuff is very sharp and usually makes my nose run, this stuff is really no different, taste wise, than the crap in the bottle at the grocery store. Why anyone would crave this or think that it's special, in any way, is beyond me. I also made the Jason's version and I thought it was worse. It's not gross, it's just not even in the same realm as what I'm accustomed to from any local Hibachi grill. I think the disparity is this recipe not having fresh crushed garlic and fresh crushed white onion. The sauce really needs those to make it special.
