Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 4

14 ounces commercial teriyaki sauce (bottled sauce, not thick glaze, Kikkoman's is okay in a pinch, about 14-16 oz)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon peeled and chopped gingerroot, to taste

Steps:

  • In a pan, combine all ingredients over medium low heat.
  • Reduce by about three-quarters, beginning to taste it about halfway through the reduction. It should be full-flavored and sweet and tangy.
  • Strain mixture and use.
  • To use: brush on the unagi, broiling the unagi in oven or grilling it.
  • You can also let the mixture cool, and store the glaze in a clean bottle in the fridge.
  • Here are the actual instructions Chef gave me, in his wording: "Unagi glaze is very simple. Just reduce bottled terriyaki sauce with a 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar. Add some chopped up ginger. Reduce this by about three quarters. Start tasting around halfway. It should be full-flavored and sweet and tangy. Strain and brush on the Unagi under the broiler, or on the grill".
