Sauce Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Stir well until the brown sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Prepare Cornstarch Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until smooth. This will help thicken the sauce.

  3. 3

    Heat the Sauce

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Thicken the Sauce

    Once the sauce is simmering, slowly add the cornstarch mixture, stirring continuously. The sauce will thicken within a few minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Sesame Oil

    After the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the sesame oil.

  6. 6

    Cool and Store

    Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to a jar or container. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
