Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup mirin
- Cornstarch slurry 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water, optional
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, granulated sugar, and mirin in a small saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it slightly thickens. For a thicker sauce, slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes longer.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool completely, which takes roughly 15-30 minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.
