Cook Time:10 minutes
Servings: 100 ml

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce
  • ¼ cup (60ml) mirin*
  • ¼ cup (60ml) sake*
  • 4 tsp (16g) sugar

Instructions

  • Add soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until reduced by about half. It should thicken slightly to a thin syrup consistency.
  • Remove from heat and transfer the sauce to a clean jar. Leave uncovered to cool to room temperature (it will thicken more as it cools).
  • Once cooled, secure the lid and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
