it had an interesting Teriyaki sauce , called 12.0 :

 

 

Teriyaki 12.0

MAKES: 1 cup

Teriyaki is the embodiment of the sweet-soy flavor so many people associate with Japanese food. It’s a lifesaver for weekday dinners, and you can also employ it for more elaborate projects like slow-cooked ribs. This one requires just five ingredients, and then you’re in teriyaki town.

¼ cup sake

¼ cup mirin

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup oyster sauce

1 tablespoon sugar 

In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients until sugar dissolves. You’re good to go. Store in the fridge up to a couple weeks.

 

for review purposes.    I don't have sake , nor mirin.  but maybe you do and would like to try it and report back ?

 

I have the cookbook on reserve from the local library.

This caught my interest until I popped onto Amazon.ca and discovered that the hardcover is $32.91 and the Kindle book was $30.39. Who thought that was justifiable?

$26.97 hardback, $16.99 Kindle, on Amazon US. B'lieve I'll pass.

 Still there is a sizeable difference between the two prices! Not so much on Amazon.ca.
