Make Teriyaki Sauce
  1. In a small saucepan combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic.
  2. In a small bowl combine mirin and cornstarch. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved.
  3. Next, add to soy mixture. Bring sauce to boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Then reduce your heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced and becomes syrupy, between 6 and 7 minutes. Add honey and stir.
  5. Taste mixture to see if you want to add more honey. My husband prefers a sweeter teriyaki sauce than I do! Add more honey if you prefer!
  6. Cover and set aside until needed.
