Equipment

Small saucepan

Ingredients

½ cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons white sugar (see Notes)
½ cup mirin ((Japanese sweet wine))
2 tablespoons sake

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring liquid to boil, then lower heat to medium-low. Cook roughly 15-20 minutes, stirring regularly, until liquid is reduced to approximately ¾ cup.
Remove from heat and transfer to container with lid. Sauce will thicken as it cools. When completely cool, serve or refrigerate until later.

Recipe Notes

White Sugar: To reduce the sugar content, use granular Swerve in place of the white sugar. Mirin is sweetened, so this recipe won't be completely sugar free.
Make it Gluten Free: Use a gluten free soy sauce.
