Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup Mirin
  • ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ⅓ cup Soy Sauce

Instructions

  • Combine equal parts Mirin, soy sauce, and granulated sugar in a sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until it reduces. Ultimately, eel sauce should be a honey-like consistency, but keep in mind it will thicken as it cools. Simmer about 10 minutes.
