This is one to definitely add to your list of quick go-to sauces. Easy-to-remember ratios, and only 30 minutes of your time. It’s minimal effort and MAXIMUM TASTE.

For those of you who wrote to me asking for a chop-chop dinner recipe or even something hassle-free to pack for a work lunch, here’s one perfect for that!

FUN FACT: ‘teri’ means shine, and ‘yaki’ means grilled!

THE RECIPE

SERVES 2

Ingredients

• ¼ cup sake (see notes)

• ¼ cup mirin

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• 2 tbsp sugar

Directions

1. Boil all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved.

2. Once it boils, lower the heat and leave to simmer for 2-3 minutes for it to thicken slightly.

3. Leave to cool and this magical sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

4. This sauce can also be used for tofu, mushrooms, salmon, chicken, or your favourite vegetable stir fry.

Notes

• Use cooking sake – it’s more affordable, and works perfectly! If you don’t have sake, you may use Chinese rice wine, or water for a non-alcoholic recipe.
