[@Artist.359.]

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.

[@slixnoir]

At a lot of Japanese restaurants, I've noticed their sauces are fairly thin, so they might be using milk or half milk half cream.

Why do I love their yum yum sauce so much?! I will put it on my rice when I eat at Benihana, but the thought of putting mayo, heavy whipping cream and ketchup on rice doesn't sound like it would taste good, but it's so delicious. Can't wait to try your version.

[@farmageddon]

Hey, Patty! To be completely honest, I had never even heard of Yum Yum sauce before I started making these videos. I had a bunch of requests for it, so I looked into it further and I ended up really like it, too! Thanks for the kind words! Let me know if you like it! My friend who used to manage a Benihana gave me the recipe, so it should be the exact one you get at the restaurant! :)

[@PBohorquez0731]

@@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!

Thank you, Heather! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!

[@monochromatech]

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]

This is amazing information. I didn't know much of the history. Thank you!

[@xN3Ax]

for the longest time i couldn't find a recipe because I kept searching "samurai at home" or like "samurai sauce" and the results gave me nothing. This whole time I have been salty and saying 'this is samurai' 🤣🤣 We have both samurai and benihana here but I prefer samurai 💛

[@burst_ch.]

The one trick I can contribute is that the restaurant I worked at toasted the paprika a little bit before adding all the rest of the dry ingredients. Could have been because they didn't use the smoked kind.

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

I literally just made this (your second version) and it’s amazing. I have it currently in the fridge cooling to allow it all to come together and blend appropriately. But just the taste alone for now is wonderful. I’m excited to taste later or tomorrow. I also made last night the garlic butter which is extraordinary. I’ll be using all this tomorrow when I make the fried rice. Thank you!

[@farmageddon]

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! Thanks again for the kind words! Here's a link to Marion's video, if you'd like to check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZepg6yGeMSeebc

[@Johnsmother]

@@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. Do you have social media where I can send you a photo tomorrow of the dish? :-)

Years ago our Benihanas in MN was a restaurant called Samurai, same exact sauce. Then they were bought out by Benihana, and I was afraid my favorite Yum Yum sauce would be changed. I was pleasantly surprised that the new Benihanas had the exact same sauce. This leads me to believe that the sauce originated at the MN Samurai, and then became the Benihana sauce after the buyout. I could be wrong.

[@jaredhall6649]

There is a samurai in miami. I believe it is the last samurai, but it's owned by bennihana

[@disonepersonthatsalive8316]

No youre actually right. My mom was at a benihana after they switched. They said they no longer served the sauce and half the table walked out, my mom was pissed. They eventually realized how dumb it was and started making the sauce again.

[@ashleehoward5160]

We also have one in Miami. We all still call it samurai. It’s owned by Benihana but sauces are all the same

[@blakeslack]

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. I wish you all the success with your youtube escapes.

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. If this Yum sauce doesn't taste like Yum sauce to you, that is probably why.

[@farmageddon]

Hey, Keith! Yeah, all of these Yum Yum = sauces seem to be a derivative of Fry sauce, which itself is a derivative of mayonnaise/ketchup based sauces like Thousand Island from the early 1900s. I did a bunch of research for the video, but I ended up not including it because I didn't think people would be interested. I might actually do a video on that in the future!

[@keith_dixon]

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.

Do you know anything about Kobe’s yum yum sauce? I have always liked it better. It is much whiter than most of the other Japanese Steakhouses. I’m wondering if they just leave the ketchup out?

[@farmageddon]

I've never been to Kobe's, so I have no insight into their sauce. But there used to be a website devoted to the white sauce and I think this recipe is closest to what you're looking for: 1 ¼ cup Hellman’s Mayonnaise ¼ cup water 1 t tomato paste 1 T melted butter ½ t garlic powder 1 t sugar ¼ t paprika Dash cayenne pepper Note: MUST LET SIT OVERNIGHT FOR PROPER FLAVOR! Hope this helps!

YES!!!

Just wondering what is the name of the dinner plate you used in the video ?

[@farmageddon]

Hey, what's up?! I'm not sure the name, but it's the "Stone Mason" line from Pottery Barn! They should still have them there because I tripped walking up my stairs a couple weeks ago and broke one and I went to the store and they were still there. So, hopefully you should be able to find them! Thanks for watching!

How long is this sauce good for?

What does yum yum go with? Thx

[@farmageddon]

Hey, Bruce! Typically, people eat it with either shrimp or fried rice. Another name for it is "shrimp sauce". But, it's really good on anything. Think of a mix between thousand island or fry sauce (if you're familiar with that) and that's basically very close to Yum Yum sauce! Thanks for watching!! I really appreciate you!

Kewpie is what I was gonna use for this sauce. Im glad to see that it upgrades the sauce.

[@robinlillian9471]

What's the point of heating it? Store mayonnaise is already cooked, and most cream is pasteurized. You can't boil down the cream to reduce it, or it would break like you said.

[@farmageddon]

The sauce can be kind of 'gritty' from the spices added if it's not heated. You can certainly do it without, though. It doesn't make that much of a difference, to be honest! Thanks for watching!

Do Benihana‘s use real butter or margarine like the garlic butter for the yum yum sauce

[@farmageddon]

Hey, Jermaine! I know they use margarine for their garlic butter (but I use real butter, because I think it tastes better). For the yum yum sauce, I’m not sure, but I think real butter is better. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

I bet that would make a wicked horseradish sauce base

sounds legit!

Sorry to say but..... I never heard of this sauce before... Is this the same sauce used on Schawarma?

[@nadanalia3000]

Thank you good sir 🫡

[@TheDopalgangr]

For a unique flavor try smoked paprika

[@anderspedersen7488]

We don’t have Benihana where I’m from. What’s this sauce for?

[@farmageddon]

People use Yum Yum for all sorts of stuff! It's just a general dipping sauce. I've seen a lot of people add it to their fried rice too. I didn't even know it existed, but tons of people asked about it in the comments, so I had to track down an old friend to get the recipe! It's pretty good. I think it's a variation of Fry sauce. Kind of tastes like Thousand Island a bit.
