Eel Sauce – Yummy Recipe
Before we get cooking, let me show you what this amazing sauce looks like.
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon seaweed for added umami flavor
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake. If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some seaweed for that extra burst of flavor.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the mixture is heated through and well combined, raise the heat to medium-high and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Make sure to give it a stir occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
- Once thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool. The sauce will continue to thicken a little as it cools down.
- Transfer the eel sauce to a clean jar or container and store it in the refrigerator. It should last for about a week, but I doubt it’ll stick around that long once you start using it!
And there you have it! Homemade eel sauce that’s easy to whip up and loaded with flavor. Use it to elevate your meals or as a dipping sauce for sushi. Trust me, your friends and family will be asking for seconds!
