Ever wondered how to make Teriyaki Sauce? The other day I was at the store looking to purchase a bottle of Teriyaki Sauce, while reading the labels I noticed the store I was at didn't have any available that didn't contain high fructose corn syrup. Which got me thinking, "what would it take to make my own?" Thanks to todays technology I was able to pull up some recipes for Teriyaki Sauce right there in the store and I was shocked at how easy it sounded and how many of the items I already had at home. So I picked up a couple of things I needed and headed home to try it out. So so easy and delish! And my favorite thing about it.....it is so much thicker than the stuff you buy.
Teriyaki Sauce
from: Food.com
*1/4 cup Soy sauce
*1 cup water
*1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
*1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* 5 tablespoons brown sugar
*1-2 tablespoons honey
*2 tablespoons cornstarch
*1/4 cup cold water
Directions:
Mix all but cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a sauce pan and begin to heat over medium/high heat. Mix cornstarch and cold water in a cup and dissolve. Add to the sauce in the pan stirring occasionally. Heat until the sauce thickens to desired thickness. If it become too thick you can add a little bit of water to thin.
Helpful Hint
* I had quite a bit left over so I put it in a container in the fridge and a couple of days later I reheated it in a sauce pan on the stove and it worked great. I am not really sure exactly how long it would keep in the fridge but I recommend using it within 5 days.
