2 tbsp freshly-grated ginger
2 tbsp crushed garlic
60g sugar
60ml Mirin (or sushi vinegar mix)

Preparation

Method:

Simply place all the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and stirring occasionally cook for about half an hour, skimming-off any foam that rises to the surface. Allow to cool and use immediately.
