Notes
- Tweak the sauce to your liking: By making teriyaki sauce at home, you can tailor the taste (and sodium/sugar levels) to your liking, so feel free to do so and/or experiment with the optional add-ins listed above.
- Be patient: Simmer the sauce until it coats the back of the spoon.
- To adjust the consistency: For a thin marinade, you could skip the cornstarch entirely. For a slightly thicker teriyaki sauce or glaze, increase the amount of cornstarch used and the simmer time. Just note it will thicken more as it cools.
- For more developed flavor: Simmer the sauce for longer to allow the flavors to meld. Just be aware that it will reduce and thicken more, too.
