Gluten-Free Japanese Barbecue-Style Sauce

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tbsp Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated or finely minced)
• 2 Garlic (cloves, minced)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, combine the tamari, brown sugar, mirin, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar.

2. 2

   Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green onions to the saucepan.

3. 3

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the ingredients together until the sugar has completely dissolved.

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened and the flavors have melded.

5. 5

   Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.

6. 6

   Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a glass jar or airtight container. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator.
