Homemade Teriyaki Sauce Recipe
This is the homemade teriyaki sauce I make on repeat. One saucepan, 10 minutes, and it's better than any sauce or marinade from a bottle.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water (divided)
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3-4 Tablespoons light brown sugar , packed
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Combine 3/4 cup water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3-4 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon honey, 2 cloves garlic and 1/2 teaspoon ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup water and cornstarch. Whisk into the pan and then bring to a light simmer. Simmer until it begins to thicken and then remove from heat. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a Tablespoon of water to thin out. If you'd like it thicker, whisk in another teaspoon of cornstarch.
- Serve warm with your favorite meats, rice and vegetables or store for later. Place leftovers in a covered container and refrigerate for up to one week.
Notes
Once cooled, you can store it in a mason jar or covered airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Because of its versatility, you can it multiple nights of the week!
