I used to just buy bottles of teriyaki sauce at the store and they were usually delicious. But I wanted to make my own. I found a recipe from food.com that I adapted to my tastes as well as what I had available in my pantry. It's a thick sauce like those you find in a restaurant. Besides being delicious, it's really easy to make.
Teriyaki Sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
3/4 tsp ground ginger
2 small cloves garlic, finely minced
5 Tbs brown sugar
2 Tbs honey
2 Tbs cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
In a sauce pan, combine all ingredients except 2 Tbs cornstarch and 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Mix cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry.
Once the sauce just comes to a boil, add the slurry and cook until desired thickness.
Feel free to experiment using fresh ginger. I rarely have it on hand, so I haven't done that yet. Enjoy!
