Ingredients

  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup mirin
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced (about a teaspoon)
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  • Put all the ingredients into a small saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Set heat so the sauce is at a simmer and cook until sauce is reduced by about ⅓. This should take about 20 minutes. I use a toothpick when I first put the sauce on then mark the line where the liquid stops. It is easy to then re-use the toothpick and see much the sauce has reduced.

Notes

Gr8 Make Ahead Tips:
  • The sauce can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. 
  • Or FREEZE it!
    • In ice cube trays
    • Or put your meat in a resealable freezer safe plastic bag with the sauce and freeze. Ready to go when you are!
