Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade Ingredients :
- Soy sauce – Umami bomb.
- Rice vinegar – In its absence, use regular white vinegar. If you happen to have sake or mirin in your pantry, you can use them instead.
- Sesame oil – This makes a real difference.
- Brown sugar – To create that glaze.
- Honey
- Aromatics – Ginger + garlic + red chili flakes. Not traditional, but makes for some great tasting sauce.
- Cornstarch – To thicken the sauce.
How to Make Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade
Combine all ingredients except cornstarch in a small sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a low boil, stirring continuously until the sugar is dissolved. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with a little water and add this to the sauce to thicken it. When its viscosity starts looking like duck sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce, it’s ready. Remove from heat and let cool.
