Thanks for your recipe.Yummmy ! I'd definitely try yours because I only buy some ready-made sauce to cook. The homemade one must hook them up. Hi, Patrick

Recipe from Cooks Illustrated: 1/2 cup soy sauce; 1/2 cup sugar; 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger; 1 clove garlic , minced; 2 tablespoons mirin; 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch; Combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic in small saucepan; stir together mirin and cornstarch in small bowl until no lumps remain, then stir mirin mixture into saucepan. Bring sauce to boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced to 3/4 cup and forms syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes. (Mirin, a sweet Japanese rice wine, is a key component of teriyaki; it can be found in the international section of most major supermarkets and in most Asian markets. If you cannot find it, use 2 tablespoons white wine and an extra teaspoon of sugar. If desired, low-sodium soy sauce can be used in place of regular soy sauce.)
