basic teriyaki sauce
Use this as a marinade or for basting. Try to use brown sugar, if possible, instead of white sugar; the molasses adds a certain texture and quality. If you want to add some extra "bite" to the sauce, increase the measure of grated ginger.
Makes 2-1/2 cups
1 Cup Soy sauce
1 Cup Sake
1/2 Cup Mirin
1/4 Cup Brown sugar
2 Tbs Fresh ginger, grated
Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Heat on stove until the brown sugar is dissolved and all the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
