Ingredients
Scale

- 1/4 cup Mirin (or substitute with 2 tablespoons dry white wine and 2 tablespoons sugar)
- 1/4 cup Sake (or substitute with water)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh Ginger, grated (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (for thickening)
