Description

A sweet and savory eel sauce that enhances your sushi, easy to make with just three ingredients.


Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup mirin


Instructions

  1. Heat the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir the mixture continuously until it comes together.
  3. Cook until the liquid reduces by about a quarter, around 10 minutes.
  4. Achieve a thickness reminiscent of honey for the perfect consistency.

Notes

Consider simmering longer for a richer flavor, but avoid overcooking to prevent bitterness.
