A sake teriyaki sauce that takes 10 minutes total to make relies on four ingredients: dark soy sauce, sake, mirin, and white sugar. The recipe calls for 5 minutes of prep and 5 minutes of cooking, and serves four. The source notes that Japanese sake and mirin wines are increasingly available in mainstream grocers, which makes the sauce accessible beyond specialty stores.
