This is a quick and simple version of the famous sauce served at Japanese hibachi restaurants. It requires just a handful of pantry staples and comes together in moments. The creamy, slightly sweet and tangy sauce is incredibly versatile, ideal for drizzling over grilled chicken or steak, tossing with vegetables, or enhancing rice bowls and wraps. You can use it immediately or chill it briefly for the flavours to develop fully.
