Bob s Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade

½ cup soy sauce

½ cup mirin

½ cup sake

2 teaspoons white sugar

¼ teaspoon ginger puree

2 teaspoons cornstarch, or as desired

2 teaspoons water

Bring the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and ginger puree to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium low. For a marinade, remove from heat and allow to cool. For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water to form a smooth paste and stir into the mixture; allow to simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.
