Basic Teriyaki Sauce
Sweet and salty teriyaki sauce—bringing me back to the days when teriyaki chicken was my savior at Japanese restaurants.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Japanese shoyu
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup Mirin
- 1/2 cup Sake
Directions
Mix soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake together in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until thickened enough to coat a spoon, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
