A rich and glossy Japanese sauce with a perfect balance of salty, sweet, and caramelized flavors. This homemade yakitori sauce is easy to make and is perfect for grilled chicken, rice bowls, vegetables, and other Japanese dishes.
- 125 ml soy sauce
- 40 ml white wine
- 60 g brown sugar
- 20 g honey
Instructions
1. Combine the ingredients
Pour the soy sauce and white wine into a small saucepan. Add the brown sugar and stir well.
2. Simmer the sauce
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally and let it reduce until the sauce becomes slightly thick and glossy.
3. Add the honey
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Stir in the honey until completely dissolved.
Tip: Adding the honey after reducing the sauce helps preserve its flavor and aroma.
4. Cool and store
Let the sauce cool completely. Transfer it to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate.
The sauce will become thicker as it cools. If it becomes too thick, gently warm it and add a small amount of water to reach the desired consistency.
