Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki Sauce is a simple blend of mirin, soy sauce, and sugar simmered until slightly thickened. This sweet and savory sauce is a classic accompaniment for grilled or stir-fried dishes. The balance between the sweetness of mirin and sugar with the saltiness of soy sauce results in a versatile glaze that can enhance meats, vegetables, or tofu.
