Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (2 parts) soy sauce
  • ¼ cup (2 parts) mirin
  • 2 tablespoons (1 part) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh, peeled, finely-chopped ginger
  • 1 tsp fresh, peeled, finely-chopped garlic
  • A litte bit of sake (optional)

Directions

  1. Mix everything in a 1-quart pot over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Use sauce to marinate some raw meat or vegetables overnight in the refrigerator.

Notes

As given, this sauce is thin. Boil 1/2 tsp cornstarch or potato starch or kuzu root starch (for Japanese authenticity) into it if you wish to thicken it.

Pineapple juice might be a reasonable mirin substitute.

Lime juice may also be added for a tart flavor.
