Hi Sarah!
I finally made a variation of this recipe tonight (with pork mince, and a few more veggies) and it was delicious! I did make a faithful version of your sauce though – delicious!

OoOOHHH!! Pork mince sounds perfect! I haven’t made one of these for ages – you’ve just reminded me of how yummy it is. I think i want to get one of those rectangular japanese omelette fry pans. i reckon it would look good in one of those.
I’m glad you like the sauce – it’s a bit like rocket fuel – anything goes!

I think you could add a bit more of whatever you like to change the balance in the sauce depending on if you like it sweet or salty.
When researching online (because I’m a nerd like that) I saw mirin, sake, and worcestershire sauce all used to make a sauce. In fact, the taste.com.au recipe i combined with yours (where I got the idea for the pork mince from) used only worchestershire sauce as a dressing…but I thought yours sounded much more delicious. Various recipes used bacon too.
Oh and I used Japanese mayonnaise too (kewpie brand, just got it at Coles) which was delicious combined with your sauce.
Just for interest’s sake – I found this recipe …
