Hibachi Night

Create your own Hibachi at home for date night!!

Our favorite Hibachi place by far is Kobe's in Central Florida. If you do not live in Central Florida, but have a Kobe's near you and think it's the same, trust... it's not!!! Since we have to travel literally across country, we sometimes do Hibachi night ourselves. Complete with the homemade yum yum sauce.

What you need:

A griddle:

This below is one that you can place directly onto your stove. One side is a flat griddle and the other side is a grill. Click on the photo below to get yours!

2nd choice would be an electric griddle:

Recipe for Yum Yum Sauce

1-1/4 cup Hellmann's/Best Food's mayonnaise (do not buy an off brand!)

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon tomato paste

1 tablespoon melted butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon paprika

dash cayenne pepper

Using fork or a whisk, blend all ingredients together thoroughly until well mixed and the sauce is smooth. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving.

The sauce will NOT taste right if you don't let it sit overnight. And please don't try to substitute ketchup for the tomato paste! The water is needed to bring this to the right consistency.

Keeps for 7-10 days; however, it will be gone instantly!

* Hellmann's is called "Best Foods" west of the Rockie Mountains. Use other mayos at your peril - many cheap brands make the sauce taste too much like mayo.
