Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- to taste mirin
- to taste water
- to taste sesame oil
- to taste garlic
- to taste ginger
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, water, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a medium saucepan.
- 2Place the saucepan over medium‑low heat and stir continuously until the brown sugar fully dissolves.
- 3Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
- 4While the sauce simmers, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl to form a smooth slurry.
- 5After the sauce has simmered, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the pan while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- 6Continue to cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy, glaze‑like consistency.
- 7Remove the saucepan from heat. If desired, stir in the sesame seeds for added crunch and a nutty flavor.
- 8Allow the teriyaki sauce to cool slightly before transferring to a clean jar; it will thicken further as it cools. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
