Notes

You can adjust the ratio of the ingredients to suit your taste for example, more soy sauce makes it thinner and saltier, more ketchup makes it sweeter and the color becomes more red etc. Feel free to experiment!
This sauce is to cook together with the noodles, meat and vegetables. I wouldn't recommend using it cold and uncooked because it contains sake which is alcohol.
