Instructions
Mix the Ingredients
- Add soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to a small saucepan and stir well to combine everything.
Heat the Mixture
- Place the saucepan on medium heat and let the sauce slowly warm until the sugar starts melting.
Stir While Cooking
- Stir the sauce often to avoid burning, and allow the flavors to blend smoothly as it simmers.
Let It Reduce
- Cook the sauce for several minutes until it thickens and becomes glossy like syrup.
Adjust the Thickness
- If you want thicker sauce, add cornstarch slurry and stir until silky and slightly sticky.
Add Optional Flavor
- For extra brightness, add a small amount of rice vinegar for a slightly tangy flavor boost.
Cool Before Serving
- Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool completely before using or storing in a jar.
Notes
- Use low heat to avoid burning the sugar.
- Stir often for a smooth and glossy sauce texture.
- Add cornstarch only if you prefer extra-thick sauce.
- Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
- Use clean, dry spoons when taking sauce from the jar.
