Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Japanese BBQ Sauce.
Step 1
Start by heating the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes fragrant. This step is crucial as it builds the foundation of flavor for your sauce.
Step 2
Next, stir in the tomato paste, sake, water, white sugar, white vinegar, dark miso paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, chili powder, grated fresh ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix everything together well, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 3
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for about 30 minutes. Stir it frequently to prevent sticking and to help it thicken beautifully. As it cooks, the flavors will meld together, creating a rich and savory sauce that’s perfect for your BBQ needs.
