💰Cheaper: cooking sake

Dry white wine offers a similar flavor profile.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

grated garlic

🥗Healthier: garlic powder

💰Cheaper: minced garlic

Garlic powder can provide flavor without fresh garlic.

In a small saucepan, add Japanese sake/ white wine and sugar. Bring to a boil over LOW heat, for about 5 minutes. *Use LOW heat to keep the rich flavor in Sake (wine) in the sauce.

Continue simmering to cook off alcohol content in Sake/wine and also combine the flavors in the sake/ wine and sugar to make a round flavor, for about 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat. Add the all remaining ingredients while the sake and sugar mixture is still hot.

Mix well and store it in a refrigerator overnight to let the flavors combine well.

Use this sauce for the dipping sauce, the marinade sauce, salad dressing, and the stir-fry sauce.
