Healthy Teriyaki Sauce
Description
The Healthy Teriyaki Sauce blends soy sauce reduced in salt with pineapple juice and honey to create a mix of sweet and salty flavors. Fresh garlic and grated ginger impart aromatic spiciness, enhanced by the subtle tang of rice vinegar. Cooking the mixture brings it to a boil before simmering to thicken the sauce using cornstarch mixed with water. This process yields a smooth, glossy consistency that clings well to proteins or vegetables.
This sauce can be used as a glaze for chicken or fish, a stir-fry sauce, or as a flavorful dipping sauce. Adjusting the garlic and ginger levels can tailor the pungency, and adding chili sauce introduces a spicy kick.
If using it as a marinade, increasing the cornstarch amount thickens the sauce to better coat ingredients. The sauce keeps well refrigerated and complements a variety of dishes with its balanced flavor.
Ingredients
- 125 ml soy sauce (reduced salt)
- 80 ml pineapple juice
- 4 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

- 2 teaspoon corn starch aka cornflour

Notes
