Method
Preparation
Incorporate Sake
Once the sugar has dissolved, add 1 tablespoon of sake to the mixture. Stir to combine.
Simmer the Mixture
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Optional Thickening (if desired)
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the sauce while stirring continuously, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Cool and Store
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the eel sauce cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. The sauce can be stored for up to 2 weeks.
