Mango Teriyaki Sauce

This sauce was originally intended as a marinade for tofu steaks but I think it is great as a stir fry sauce. Of course you can use it for its intended purpose and meat eaters would probably love it on grilled chicken. I have made one or two modifications for my personal preference. It is great as is but I like a little more bite and/ or heat in my sauces.

2 ripe mangos peeled pitted and coarsely chopped
2 tsp grated ginger
6 Tbs mirin (rice wine)
4 Tbs soy sauce
4 Tbs sake
2 Tbs water
2 Tbs sugar (substitute honey for a more complex flavor)
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for some heat)

-puree mango and ginger until smooth
-whisk mirin, soy sauce, sake sugar (or honey) 2 Tbs water, red pepper (if you are using it) and mango mixture in a saucepan.
-stir constantly over a low heat until it comes to a simmer then remove from heat and use it as a glaze, marinade, stir fry sauce, or whatever.
