Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup Mirin
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, soy sauce, and Mirin until fully combined.
- Cook the Sauce: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces to about ¾ cup (approximately 253g). The sauce should have a consistency similar to honey once it cools.
- Cool and Store: Let the sauce cool completely. Once cooled, you can use it immediately or store it in a resealable container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
If the sauce thickens too much after refrigeration, gently reheat it over low heat, stirring until it reaches the desired consistency.
