Ingredients

3/4 cup sake
1/4 cup white sugar
1 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
5 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Preparation

Stir sake and 1/4 cup white sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add soy sauce, 1/3 cup white sugar, orange marmalade, vinegar, garlic powder, sesame oil, ginger, cayenne pepper, and black pepper; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until slightly reduced, 5 to 10 minutes.
