Instructions

To Make the Teriyaki Sauce:

  1. In a saucepan, set over medium heat, whisk together the soy sauce, water, mirin, brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic, and ginger. When the mixture reaches a simmer, bring the heat down to low and allow to reduce for 10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; the mixture will thicken as it cools.
  2. Note: If you want super thick teriyaki sauce, you can use a bit of cornstarch to help. Here's how: pour a tablespoon of the sauce into a small bowl. Add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the small bowl and whisk until it completely dissolves. Add the cornstarch mixture to the teriyaki sauce, whisking until dissolved.
  3. This teriyaki sauce will give you about 1 cup of teriyaki sauce. This sauce keeps well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Tips and Tricks: 
  • Tips and Tricks: 
  • No cornstarch. In the testing of this, we found that the recipe is best with no cornstarch added to the teriyaki sauce. And instead a slurry of cornstarch is added to the actual dish/stir-fry. It gets very gummy and clumpy when added to the sauce itself.
  • Use honey. I like this recipe with brown sugar but some people might want to avoid using brown sugar. You can use 1/3 cup of honey in place of the brown sugar.
