Ever wondered what gives Benihana’s signature sauces that extra special something? Well, you’re in luck! We ventured to the Troy, Michigan location to spend time with master chefs Nha and Shahadat as they showed us how to create Benihana’s famous sauces.  Check out our photo journal of what goes into making their signature salad dressing and mustard and ginger sauces below.

Meet Nha and Shahadat. They were awesome teachers!
Every dish begins with prep work. This goes for sauces as well. Benihana preps, peels and chops their signature sauce ingredients fresh every morning. Insider tip on lemon juicing: Peel the lemon first. Then squeeze the juice out. Don’t squeeze too hard, though! Over-squeezing will give the lemon juice an overly bitter taste.
Peel the skin off the garlic.
Can’t forget the mustard powder!
Ingredients above are for the Benihana Mustard Sauce. Pair this with steak and chicken for the ultimate flavor combo.
Ingredients that go into the classic Benihana Ginger Sauce.  Try it with seafood and veggies to enhance their natural flavors.
Before: Benihana’s signature salad dressing!
After: Perfection.
