This was a recipe taught to me at the place I worked more than 10 years ago.

This recipe works better if you use miso without dashi added. You have to constantly stir the sauce, so I think it is a good idea to make it when you have some spare time. The miso will splatter of the pot and stain your clothes, so I suggest wearing an apron!. Add more sesame oil if you prefer. Recipe by kenken mama

Steps

1

Add all the ingredients to a pot except for the sesame oil, and use an egg beater to whisk it all together until the miso dissolves. Then, put it on the stove.
2

After placing it on the stove, immediately turn it down from a medium to low heat, and use a wooden spatula to constantly stir it from the bottom of the pot. Make sure to keep a close watch on it. It burns easily, so do not take your eyes off.
3

Once the broth has boiled down and thickened, add sesame oil. It took about 20 minutes to get it to this point.
4

As time passes the sauce will become rather thick. It's done when it doesn't slide of the spatula easily when you scoop it up. Store in the refrigerator in a clean jar. Since the sauce doesn't contain any water, it will keep for about 3 months. If you take care of it, then it might even be good for a year.

This is pork that was marinated in a bit of sake and this miso sauce in a plastic bag for half a day and sauted in a pan. You can also marinate it for an entire day!
