It's called shrimp sauce, but don't limit yourself to that. This glorious Japanese mayo sauce is fantastic on all manner of stir-fried meats and veggies.

  1. BCBSr REVIEW:

    This is FANTASTIC. Portions are spot on. If you have access to an Asian market, I highly recommend using Kewpie (or facsimile thereof) mayo. Far more flavorable.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    i use rice wine and less garlic its great

  3. Cheryl Ann REVIEW:

    Very good! Add vinegar slowly, a tablespoon at a time. Use white if you don't have rice vinegar, but rice is way better. I also had to add water until it was thin enough. Loved it!

  4. close but no cigar REVIEW:

    close but no cigar I would recommend less vinegar and yes I was using rice vinegar maybe try 2 tblspoons instead.

  5. sweatpeas REVIEW:

    For those that say this tastes like too much vinegar are you using rice vinegar? I thought this was perfect. I dip french fries in it.

  6. AkaManto REVIEW:

    I just made this for my family and it is brilliant! I also recommend the sauce on a salad or vegetables. I found that two tablespoons of vinegar were enough for my taste and a little less sugar. It's amazing, though. I will recommend this recipe to anyone who will listen.

    Me and my husband both thought this dressing tasted like pure vinegar. Recipe calls for too much vinegar. Will not make again.

  8. Des

    Far too much vinegar. I added a lil ketchup to get rid of the sour. Next time I will only use 1.5 tbs of vinegar.

  9. Ging

    It mainly tasted like vinegar. If I try to make this again, I will leave out the vinegar or maybe try using just 1 TBSP.

  10. Marquie REVIEW:

    If you have ever been to a Hibachi restaurant and have had their "Japanese Ketchup" or "seafood sauce", you know when I say, OMG!!!!!!!!!!! This version is the greatest and tastes better than what you get at any restaurant. I have 5 year old twin girls and they put it on everything. Thanks!!

  11. lizzyblutts REVIEW:

    This sauce is delicious. It tastes very much like the one used at a very famous Japanese Restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio. It is excellent on beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables, especially when my husband is doing the grilling!

  12. istockl REVIEW:

    This sauce was excellent. It is very much like the sauce used at Da Ru Ma in Naples/Sarasota, Florida. I felt the need to reduce the sugar a bit. I only use 2 tablespoons. This also keeps well in the fridge for a few days. For anyone that is interested, email for the salad dressing. I have a great recipe for that! istockL@aol.com
