Q: I would love to know how to make the dipping sauces they have at Benihana. I know they would be good for all kinds of dishes. Do you think you can get the recipe?

A: While most of the slicing and dicing at Benihana steakhouses takes place in front of the diners, these sauces are prepared behind the scenes where their secrets are kept. Here are recipes for Mustard Sauce, which goes particularly well with chicken and beef, and Ginger Sauce, which is used primarily with vegetables and seafood. Both were adapted from the Benihana sauces by recipe sleuth Todd Wilber.
