Hub-UK

Variation No. 1

Using the Japanese sake and mirin wines (available in most Asian markets), this teriyaki sauce recipe is simple and sweet. Use as a sauce or marinade for chicken, fish or other meat.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup dark soy sauce

• 1/4 cup sake wine

• 2 tablespoons mirin wine

• 1 tablespoon white sugar

• 1/4 cup sake wine

• 2 tablespoons mirin wine

• 1 tablespoon white sugar

Method

Combine soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.

Can be used immediately or cooled and refrigerated.

Variation No. 2

Use this as a marinade or for basting. Try to use brown sugar, if possible, instead of white sugar; the molasses adds a certain texture and quality. If you want to add some extra "bite" to the sauce, increase the measure of grated ginger.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Soy sauce

• 1 cup Sake

• 1/2 cup Mirin

• 1/4 cup Brown sugar

• 2 Tbs. Fresh ginger, grated

Method

Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Heat on stove until the brown sugar is dissolved and all the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
