Teriyaki Sauce

3 scallions, thinly sliced

½ cup soy sauce

½ cup mirin (Japanese rice wine)

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon brown sugar

3 tablespoons water

In a small saucepan combine the soy sauce, mirin, rice wine vinegar, and brown sugar.  Bring to a boil over medium high heat stirring until the brown sugar dissolves.  Add the scallions.  Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture thickens and reduces to about ¾ cup.  Use the teriyaki sauce immediately or cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
