No need to buy store-bought sukiyaki sauce! You can easily make as much as you need with ingredients you already have at home—super convenient. This sauce can also be used for other dishes besides sukiyaki.
Background of this recipe:
When I used store-bought sukiyaki sauce, I often ran out in the middle of cooking, or the sauce would get too concentrated and heavy as it simmered. I wasn’t a big fan of sukiyaki until I started making this homemade warishita set—now I really enjoy it!
