Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade Ingredients :
- Soy sauce: Provides a burst of umami flavor.
- Rice vinegar: If unavailable, substitute with regular white vinegar. Sake or mirin can be used as alternatives if on hand.
- Sesame oil: Essential for enhancing the sauce’s depth.
- Brown sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create a glaze.
- Honey: Adds additional sweetness and complexity.
- Aromatics: Ginger, garlic, and red chili flakes, while not traditional, add excellent flavor to the sauce.
- Cornstarch: Used to thicken the sauce to desired consistency.
How to Make Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade
Combine all ingredients except for the cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Once it boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water. Add this mixture to the sauce to thicken it. When the sauce reaches a consistency similar to duck sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce, it’s done. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
