  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small pot combine the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, until reduced and thickened.
  3. In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and water together to make a slurry.
  4. Add the slurry to the sauce and stir until combined.
  5. 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.
  6. Let cool completely before serving.
