Shoyu Tare
Greg Dunmore (Adapted from Sonoko Sakai)
I recently picked up Sonoko Sakai’s cookbook Japanese Home Cooking and immediately fell in love with her shoyu tare. Simple to make and incredibly versatile, this savory-sweet seasoning sauce can be used as a dipping sauce, added to broths, brushed onto grilled foods, or stirred into countless dishes to add depth and umami. It's the kind of staple that earns a permanent spot in your refrigerator.
