Recipe Instructions:

Begin by gathering all your ingredients: mirin, soy sauce, and water.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 part mirin, 3 parts soy sauce, and 4 1/2 parts water. The water helps dilute the flavors slightly while still maintaining the perfect balance between sweetness and saltiness.
-
Mix the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring that the mirin and soy sauce are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. You can adjust the ratios slightly to suit your taste preferences, adding more soy sauce for a saltier flavor or more mirin for added sweetness.
-
Once mixed, your tempura dipping sauce is ready to serve! You have the option to warm the sauce slightly before serving to enhance its aroma and flavor, or you can serve it at room temperature for a refreshing contrast to hot, crispy tempura.
-
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding about 1 1/2 tablespoons of grated daikon (white radish) to the sauce. The daikon adds a subtle yet distinctive flavor that complements the tempura beautifully, enhancing your dipping experience with every bite.
-
Serve your tempura dipping sauce alongside your favorite tempura dishes and enjoy the delicious harmony of flavors that Japanese cuisine has to offer. Whether you’re dipping shrimp, vegetables, or seafood, this sauce is the perfect accompaniment to elevate your tempura to new heights of culinary delight.
-
Store any leftover dipping sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Simply give it a quick stir before using it again, and you’ll be ready to enjoy another round of tempura with this delectable dipping sauce.
