Equipment

  • Sauce pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sake
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce I use low-sodium to get it a bit healthier
  • ½ tsp miso paste
  • ¼ tsp katsuobushi bonito flakes
  • ⅛ medium apple grated
  • 2 tsp white sesame seeds roasted

Instructions

  • Add mirin, sake, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, miso, dried bonito flakes to a pot and simmer for about 1½ minutes.
  • Once that time has passed, strain the sauce so it’s nice and smooth.
  • Add roasted white sesame seeds and the grated apple, and you’ll be ready to start dipping yakiniku in it. However, the best way to enjoy it is to let the sauce sit for about half a day or even better overnight in the fridge so all the flavors can meld together.
