Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Allspice
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and rice vinegar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Add the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, and allspice to the saucepan.
Continue to stir the mixture constantly as it heats up. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors are well-blended, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to a clean glass jar or bottle.
Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to a month, shaking or stirring before use to recombine any settled ingredients.
