How to stretch these ingredients
- Soy sauce + sugar + garlic is all you need for a teriyaki-style sauce
- A splash of rice vinegar balances the sweetness and saltiness
- Serve over rice to make it a complete meal
- Add sesame oil at the very end — it loses its aroma if cooked too long
- Sesame seeds and green onion make good garnishes
