EASY TERIYAKI SAUCE

Easy Teriyaki Sauce

We love Asian food, and this homemade Teriyaki Sauce is simple and easy - and the best teriyaki sauce ever! Perfect for stir-fry Teriyaki Chicken or Teriyaki Beef, salmon fillets or shrimp, drizzled over rice or fried rice, or served as a dip for egg rolls.  So simple and easy to make at home, and better than anything you can buy!

Every home cook should have a few special sauce recipes up their sleeves, ready to pull out for fast and easy dinners, and this is one of my go-to sauces that everyone adores!

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS!

• Low-sodium Soy Sauce
• Brown Sugar
• Rice Vinegar (or Apple Cider Vinegar)
• Honey
• Sesame Oil (or vegetable oil)
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Red Pepper Flakes
• Cornstarch
• Sesame Seeds

This is another recipe that is wonderful because you can customize it YOUR WAY!  Like it sweeter?  Add some additional brown sugar or honey.  A little bit spicier? I add extra sriracha seasoning or red pepper flakes to kick up the flavor.  The magic is that you can make it your own!

THREE EASY STEPS!

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic and ginger.  Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch with some water.  Drizzle into sauce mixture and whisk consistently until the sauce thickens.
3. Remove from heat and stir in sesame seeds; let cool.  That's it!

I usually make double batches of this at a time and keep stored in the fridge for easy meal prep.  You can also freeze this sauce for up to 3 months - simply defrost in your refrigerator.  

So simple and good that you'll never buy bottled teriyaki sauce again!

1/2 teaspoon Sriracha seasoning (or red pepper flakes)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons water

NOTES: You can substitute garlic powder (1-1/2 teaspoons) and ginger powder (1/2 teaspoon) for fresh garlic and ginger.  You can also substitute olive oil for the sesame oil in a pinch, but increase the sesame seeds to 2 tablespoons if you do so – sesame oil adds so much flavor!
