Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/2 White Sugar
- 1/2 Mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Ensure you have soy sauce, sugar, and mirin on hand.
- Preparation: Measure out the required quantities of each ingredient.
- Heat the Saucepan: Place a small saucepan on the stove and set it to medium heat.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin into the saucepan.
- Stir: Using a whisk or a spatula, stir the mixture to ensure the sugar starts dissolving.
- Monitor Heat: As the mixture heats up, ensure it doesn't boil vigorously. If it starts to, reduce the heat slightly.
- Continue Cooking: Keep stirring occasionally, ensuring the mixture doesn't stick or burn at the bottom.
- Check Consistency: As the sauce simmers, it will reduce and thicken. Cook until it reduces to about 3/4 cup.
- Cooling: Once done, remove the saucepan from heat. Let the sauce cool; it will thicken more as it cools down.
- Storage: Transfer the cooled sauce to an airtight container or jar and store it in the refrigerator if not used immediately.
