How to Make Japanese Tempura Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup dashi (Japanese fish stock), 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin (or 4 teaspoons sugar), 1 tablespoon sake (optional, substitute with 1 tablespoon water if unavailable), and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely before serving. The flavors will meld beautifully as it cools.
- Serve in small dipping bowls alongside your crispy, golden tempura.
