Instructions
For Sauce
- In a medium saucepan or skillet, mix together the soy sauce, sake, mirin and water. Bring mixture to a boil, lower heat to simmer and cook until reduced and thickened. It turns into a glossy, syrupy sauce (See Note 2).
- Allow to cool to room temperature before using. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 weeks.
