This is Hiro's version of the Japanese mother sauce.
A variation of it is used in almost every Japanese marinade
and soup base, and you can use it to marinate almost
anything. Once you start using it, it will become a
staple in your kitchen, as it is in ours. Increase the
recipe if you need more.
Yield: about 3/4 cup
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 Tablespoons mirin
- 2 Tablespoons sake
- ¼ teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- ¼ teaspoon grated garlic
In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients.
