Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
  • Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or reduced almost by half.
  • Serve with sushi rolls.

Notes

  1. You can substitute honey or agave for the sugar, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  2. Sauce should be reduced by about 40%. It will also continue to thicken as it cools.
  3. Add a couple tablespoons of sake or mirin for an added boost of flavor.
