Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

¼ cup rice vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tablespoons white cane sugar or additional brown sugar
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 cup miring sweet rice wine
1 cup sake Japanese rice wine
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 6 oz can tomato paste
6 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons grated organic ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Equipment

Medium saucepan
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Wooden spoon or spatula
Fine grater or microplane (for ginger)
Heatproof jar or bottle (for storage)

Method

Start With The Liquids

Place a medium sized saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Pour in the soy sauce, miring, sake, and rice vinegar. Stir gently to blend everything together.

Sweeten AND Add Depth

Next, add in your sweeteners: brown sugar, white sugar, and cane sugar (or just more brown sugar if that’s what you have). Spoon in the tomato paste. Whisk everything together until the sugars dissolve completely and the tomato paste is mixed in smoothly.

Add Flavor Boosters

Toss in the garlic (minced), ginger (grated), and green onion (chopped). Drizzle in some sesame oil, and season with black pepper and salt to your liking.

Simmer To Bring It Together

Let the sauce gently simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir now and then to keep it from sticking or burning. This step helps all the flavour meld together.

(Optional) Thicken It Up

If you like your sauce on the thicker side, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens up.

Cool Down And Store

Once it’s done, take the pan off the heat and let the sauce cool completely. Then transfer it into a clean, sterilised jar or bottle.
