Pour 50ml water or dashi, 60ml rice vinegar, 30ml mirin, and 60ml soy sauce into a small pot. Turn on the fire and boil for 1 to 2 minutes to let the alcohol in mirin evaporate, then turn off the fire. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 to 2 pinches salt, and 1 teaspoon chicken soup powder while hot, stir until completely dissolved, and let the sauce cool down.
