Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
The flavor is amazing and you will find yourself using it for everything from chicken nuggets to vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 oz pineapple juice about 2 shot glasses
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp cornstarch optional: used to thicken for basting sauce
Instructions
- In a medium-size pot over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, pineapple juice, onion powder, garlic powder, and vinegar.
- Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- For a thicker, basting sauce, remove half a cup of teriyaki sauce and place in a small bowl.
- Incorporate the cornstarch into the soy sauce in the bowl using a whisk
- Once the cornstarch is completely dissolved in the soy sauce, add the mixture back into the pot and continue cooking an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Set aside to cool.
Notes
If you find you don’t have the rice vinegar or the pineapple juice it is okay to omit them or find a decent substitute.
