A Simple Teriyaki Sauce
{☻ Yoshi - Yoshi ☻}
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (2 parts) soy sauce
- 1/4 cup (2 parts) mirin (sweetened rice wine for cooking)
- 2 tablespoons (1 part) brown sugar
- 1 tsp of fresh, peeled, finely chopped ginger
A litte bit of sake may also be added.
Preparation:
Mix everything in a 1-quart pot over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
That's it. You'll want to heat the sauce with some pre-cooked meat in it of course, or use it to marinate some raw meat overnight in the refrigerator.
Variation
- As given, this sauce is thin. Boil some cornstarch or potato starch 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.
