Eel sauce
Eel sauce, also called Unagi sauce, is a thickened and sweetened soy sauce that is perfect for dipping or drizzling. It doesn't actually contain any eel products and is a sweet and sticky sauce perfect for topping any fish or sushi.
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup mirin
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- In a small pot combine the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, until reduced and thickened.
- In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and water together to make a slurry.
- Add the slurry to the sauce and stir until combined.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. You may continue to reduce if you would like a thicker consistency.
- Let cool completely before serving.
