🥄 2 tablespoons soy sauce
🥄 1 tablespoon mirin
🥄 1 tablespoon sake
🥄 1 teaspoon sugar
🥄 1 clove garlic, minced
🥄 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

Instructions
👨🍳 Begin by cooking the rice according to package directions and setting it aside in a large serving bowl.
👨🍳 In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
👨🍳 In a separate pan, heat oil and sauté the vegetables until they begin to soften. Add the protein and cook until fully done.
👨🍳 Stir the sauce into the protein and vegetables, then add cornstarch mixed with water to thicken the sauce.
👨🍳 Pour the sauce-coated protein and vegetables over the rice.
👨🍳 Drizzle with sesame oil, garnish with green onions, and add nori if desired.
