Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dashi stock
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Mirin
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Grated daikon radish (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the mixture is heated through, remove it from the heat. Do not let it boil, as this can alter the delicate balance of flavors.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
If desired, serve the sauce with a small amount of grated daikon radish on the side or mixed in, for added texture and a subtle sweetness.
