So, I've had to move away from a benihana so I was determined to figure out how they made my favorite Diablo sauce. This recipe was going in the right direction, but it wasn't right. So I finally talked to the local benihana manager and told him I was moving away. He and I were close because I would go in once a week and order a pint of Diablo and a pint of the white sauce. What he said to me was 'We mix our white sauce with our chili paste and that's how we get it.' So, I took your white sauce recipe and then doubled it, and then made your Diablo sauce recipe in this video and took out the honey, then combined the two (so two parts white sauce, 1 part this Diablo sauce minus the honey) and it's damn near perfect and the absolute closest I've gotten to recreating their Diablo sauce. Thank you so much for helping me be able to create this sauce at home. I don't feel so bad moving away now!

Coming from the UK, we've generally followed the French way with mayonnaise and only used egg yolks in proper homemade/restaurant mayonnaise (see Eliza Acton from the 1840's etc), and it's only in the commerical mayo that you get egg white added, so Kewpie isn't such a stretch to make at home, just use some rice vinegar, a little sugar and a soupçon of MSG and you are good to go. The ichimi/shichimi distinction lesson was extremely useful, and avoided a needless purchase.

Hi, Ronelle! I plan on doing the shrimp very soon! I have 2-3 other videos on deck (teriyaki sauce, teriyaki chicken and teriyaki steak) and then I plan on doing the shrimp! It will be out within the next couple weeks! Thank you so much for your kind works! I really appreciate you!!

[@natashaw]

Love your recipes!!! I used the second method and it’s spicy but super sweet. Any idea on how to tone down the sauce I already made? Next time I know not to add so much honey. :)

[@farmageddon]

Hey Natasha! In this case, I would just add more mayonnaise. That will tone down the spice and sweetness. LMK I’d you have any other questions! Thanks for watching!

[@borisdevilboon8064]

I have local korean place with a spicy mayo sauce i have struggling to replicate, based on this i have a feeling they might be doing this with gochugaro instead of the togarashi, gonna have try that

Teriyaki sauce in the future my good sir? I am forever grateful for these videos.

Can you show us how to make the Benihana tofu steak hot sauce please? For Benihana's tofu steak.

I’ll look into it! It’s either the spicy teriyaki or the spicy sauce, of which there are two versions. I’ll be doing videos on these sauces shortly! Thanks for stopping by!

[@michaelhorgan9525]

@@farmageddon I was at a Benihana recently and someone at our table had the spicy tofu and the sauce had a darker hue to it than the regular spicy sauce. Not sure if it is the spicy teriyaki but a PETA article said it it contains a vegan supreme beef flavoring.

[@carolinagutierrez015]

Is this the same as their Chili Paste ?

[@farmageddon]

I believe the chili paste is just the mixture of ketchup, togarashi and honey. Although, you may be looking for the spicy sauce, which is in my videos. They're both super simple to make! Thanks for watching!

[@carolinagutierrez015]

@@farmageddon Thank you! Also, my husband and I made the fried rice today and it came out very similar ! We have tried several different methods and they never compared nor came close to your recipe! Thanks 😁

[@DanimalsTCG]

it tasted really sweet. I feel like its missing something

[@farmageddon]

There are two components that are adding sweetness to this dish: the ketchup and the honey. If it's too sweet, try cutting back on either of these. I would start with the honey, because it's basically liquid sugar. See how that works. Try adjusting the levels of the togarashi and the mayonnaise. I know most of the time when it's made at Benihana, they use a bit more mayonnaise because the prep cooks just eyeball everything. But this is the exact recipe from the BH corporate book. Let me know if you need any help and I'll try to do what I can!

[@DanimalsTCG]

@@farmageddon thank you man appreciate it

[@JYZProductions]

i didn't find anything special about kewpie mayonaise, once the bottle was done i went right back to hellmans. If the recipe has a lot of ingredients in it who cares. Use whatever. If it's simple then yeah. Kewpie would be the way to go especially if you grew up eating it

[@creativcookie9086]

Maybe I did it wrong but the mayo overpowered everything and just have it a horrible taste.

[@mikem4865]

I've been going to Benihana in Burlingame, CA for over 20 years. They have personally told me "we use chili paste" not chili powder or cayenne powder. Let the truth set you free! I've used cayenne powder at home, very close, but not correct.

[@farmageddon]

What's up, Mike! The 'chili paste' they use is the mixture of togarashi chili pepper, ketchup and honey. At least, that is the traditional recipe. And that's what it says in the corporate book. But Benihana was bought out several years ago, so, they may use something different today? Who knows! I know most Benihana restaurants today have their Yum Yum sauce brought in and no longer make it in house like they used to. I randomly ran into an old friend who used to manage a BH for like 20 years and he wrote down the original recipe for me. That's the only way I was able to get it!
