How to Make Yakitori Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
- Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon water and 1 teaspoon cornstarch until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering soy sauce mixture.
- Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
- Let the sauce cool to room temperature (about 10-15 minutes).
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The flavor will deepen over time!
