Savory Soy-Infused Onion and Ginger Glaze

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1/2 cup sake
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients
Begin by slicing the onion into thin, even rings. Grate the ginger finely. Set both aside for quick access.

2. Mix the Sauce
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

3. Sauté Onion and Ginger
Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and grated ginger. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions become soft and slightly translucent.

4. Combine Sauce and Vegetables
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet with the cooked onions and ginger. Stir to ensure the ingredients are well-combined.

5. Simmer the Glaze
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Stir occasionally and let the sauce thicken, taking care not to let it burn.

6. Final Adjustment
Taste the glaze and adjust seasoning if necessary. For a deeper flavor, let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

7. Serve
Transfer the glaze to a serving dish. This savory glaze is perfect as a topping over grilled or roasted meats, or as a rich sauce for steamed vegetables or rice.
