Equipment
  • saucepan
  • bowl
  • whisk
Ingredients
  
  • 6 ounces sake
  • 9 ounces mirin
  • 12 ounces soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1" fresh ginger
Instructions
 
  • Turn the heat to medium and add all ingredients, except the water and cornstarch, to a small saucepan. Stir vigorously until the sugar has dissolved and the Teriyaki Sauce is mixed evenly.
  • Add the water and cornstarch to a small bowl and stir to combine. This prevents the formation of cornstarch lumps. Then, take 3 tablespoons of the Teriyaki Sauce from the pan and add it to the cornstarch mixture. Stir to mix.
  • Once it is combined, add this mixture from the bowl to the saucepan, whisk it, and maintain on the heat until the sauce thickens. Keep a close eye on the sauce as it could simmer very quickly — so be ready to turn down the heat at any moment. It might take from 5-10 minutes depending on the size of the saucepan you’re using. Once you’ve reached the right thick texture, remove the Teriyaki Sauce from the heat and leave it to cool.
  • Once cooled, pour it into a bottle or an airtight container and use it on grilled or fried veggies and meat. They will taste as nothing you have tried before!
