Ingredients

½ cup soy sauce
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup mirin
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Instructions

In a small pot combine the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, until reduced and thickened.
In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and water together to make a slurry.
Add the slurry to the sauce and stir until combined.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. You may continue to reduce if you would like a thicker consistency.
Let cool completely before serving.
