It’s easy to make the essential sushi dipping sauce.
Everyone knows that sushi is always better with the condiments, including spicy mayo (mayo and sriracha sauce, quantity depends on desired heat) and that thick, sweet, teriyaki-like concoction known as sweet sauce.
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons water
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic. Bring to a boil. Watch very carefully until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add water as needed, a tablespoon at a time, to dilute slightly.

Hi, will this freeze okay?
Thanks!
So crazy! I’m making sushi salad for shabbos and didn’t have sweet sauce. Was just trying to figure out how to avoid going to the store!
I had it boiling for over a half hour and still didn’t thiken. what am I doing wroing?
Same. It keeps boiling and nothing
Has anyone found a solution to it not thickening as it boils? I tried adding cornstarch to thicken it up which worked but I was hoping it would thicken as it boils.
