Quick Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
So quick and easy to make your own teriyaki sauce - and you are in control.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup granulated sugar or as desired
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sake
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger root
- 1 teaspoon or more, cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon or as needed, water (to form a slurry)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sake, Hoisin, and ginger root. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced.
- While the mixture is simmering, mix the cornstarch and cold water together to form a slurry; add slowly to the simmering teriyaki sauce until it comes to your desired level of thickness. Remove from heat.
- Use hot or at room temperature. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
LindySez - this sauce will thicken as it cools so don't over thicken if you plan to store it. Also, bring to room temperature if refrigerated.
