Method
Combine the soy sauce, mirin, water, brown sugar, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Stir the cornstarch into the cold water until smooth, then whisk it into the simmering sauce.
Simmer, stirring, until glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon, about 2 minutes. It thickens more as it cools.
Tips
- Use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce to make it gluten-free.
- For a thinner marinade, skip the cornstarch.
- Keeps for 2 weeks in a jar in the fridge.
