Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki Sauce is a recipe everyone should have in their wheelhouse. Homemade teriyaki sauce is so much better than from a bottle and it is actually super easy to make. We love to make chicken and veggie teriyaki bowls with this sauce. You can make this sauce and then put it on both sides of chicken before baking it on a baking sheet for an even better teriyaki bowl. If you’re not planning to make chicken with the sauce then I may recommend halving the recipe or you will have a lot of teriyaki sauce.

Easy to make teriyaki sauce that takes 10 minutes or less to make and is great as a marinade, over rice, or in many other dishes.

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

3 tablespoons honey

2/3 cup soy sauce (if using low sodium soy sauce, you may want to add a bit of salt)

1 ¼ cup water

½ cup brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger powder

1 clove garlic, minced

3 ½ tablespoons corn starch + 1/3 cup water

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

In a small or medium sauce pan, combine the honey, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger powder and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking frequently.

In a small bowl, combine the corn starch and water till mixed.

Pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce pan and whisk till it thickens. Remove from heat and add sesame seeds. Serve over rice, veggies, and chicken.

Notes

If you’re using some of this sauce to put on your chicken before cooking then make a full recipe, if you’re using cooked chicken from a rotisserie chicken, or cooking chicken without the sauce, I’d recommend halving the recipe.
