Ingredients (Half Batch)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- Small pinch grated ginger or garlic (optional)
- Slurry: 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1/2 tablespoon (1 1/2 teaspoons) cold water (optional, for a thick glaze)
Instructions
- Combine: Add the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar (plus ginger/garlic if using) to a small saucepan.
- Simmer: Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn down to a gentle simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. (A half batch reduces a little faster, so keep an eye on it!)
- Thicken (Optional): Whisk in your cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1 minute until glossy.
- Cool: Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature before popping it into your container.
This will give you about 3/4 cup of sauce—perfect for 1 or 2 quick meals!
