Instructions

Gather Ingredients: Ensure you have soy sauce, sugar, and mirin on hand.
Preparation: Measure out the required quantities of each ingredient.
Heat the Saucepan: Place a small saucepan on the stove and set it to medium heat.
Combine Ingredients: Pour the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin into the saucepan.
Stir: Using a whisk or a spatula, stir the mixture to ensure the sugar starts dissolving.
Monitor Heat: As the mixture heats up, ensure it doesn’t boil vigorously. If it starts to, reduce the heat slightly.
Continue Cooking: Keep stirring occasionally, ensuring the mixture doesn’t stick or burn at the bottom.
Check Consistency: As the sauce simmers, it will reduce and thicken. Cook until it reduces to about 3/4 cup.
Cooling: Once done, remove the saucepan from heat. Let the sauce cool; it will thicken more as it cools down.
Storage: Transfer the cooled sauce to an airtight container or jar and store it in the refrigerator if not used immediately.
