An incredibly easy recipe for a delicious and authentic Japanese basic teriyaki sauce! Only needs 4 ingredients and can be used for nearly any meat/dish!
Cook over medium-high heat and stir continuously until all the sugar has dissolved.
Turn the heat down to low and simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce to 70 % and thicken.
Remove from heat and use on whatever dish or store in a jar/container and leave in the fridge.
Notes
The ratio for all the ingredients is 2:2:2:1. I have used tablespoons but you can adjust it to whatever you want using this ratio. (For example 1 tsp soy sauce to 1 tsp mirin, etc.)Makes about 100ml You can also add sliced ginger and garlic to add more flavour. For above amount, I add a clove of garlic and about 5 g of sliced ginger.
