Recipe : Japanese Tartar Sauce
Japanese tartar sauce is slightly different from the typical Western version, as it incorporates Japanese ingredients. Its characteristics include the use of Japanese mayonnaise, onions, boiled eggs, and cucumbers instead of pickles. To add sweetness, sugar and soy sauce are often used. If acidity is needed, a small amount of lemon or rice vinegar may be added. Japanese tartar sauce is commonly used in home cooking and Western-style restaurants, providing a mild and rich flavor that complements dishes. It is often paired with simple fried foods and fish dishes.
