Hi Jamisen, so happy to hear you've been getting use out of this. It's good inspiration to get this updated with some better photos!

Simple but versatile. I use this this weekly, mostly with tofu or chicken, but it could easily go with anything. Reminds me of my trips to Japan... Delicious! Thank you!

Hi Joseph, thanks for leaving a comment. There is no Japanese sauce that I'm aware of that uses equal parts soy sauce, sake, and sesame oil, however there are two possibilities. The first is that you are referring to the sauce for the Taiwanese dish San Bei Ji (3 cup chicken) which traditionally uses equal parts soy sauce, rice wine and sesame oil. Here is a link to that recipe: https://norecipes.com/three-cup-chicken-san-bei-ji/ The other possibility is that you're referring to teriyaki sauce (also sometimes called Unagi Sauce), which is made with equal parts soy sauce, sake and sugar (this sauce does not include sesame oil). I hope that helps.

I think I recalled it as Unagi (Unami? Unabi?) but I cant find anything containing those, specific 3 ingredients mixed in equal parts and used as a sauce, hot or cold, marinade, in stir fry and commonly has garlic, ginger, scallions, rice flour & etc. added to it.

Perplexed in Berkeley ... 🙂
