Teriyaki Sauce

Ingredients

To make 1/2 cup (about what I use for 1 meal for a family of 4):

  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 tablespoon cold water
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/8 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
  • black pepper to taste

To make 4 cups (a big batch):

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups soy sauce (about a whole 15 ounce bottle)
  • 1 cup rice vinegar
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced (4 teaspoons)
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth and no lumps. Then, whisk in the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ground black pepper.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce it and simmer until thickens.
  • To freeze it, wait until room temperature (or cooled in frig), then place in storage container in smaller portions. I do 1-cup portions as most of the recipes I make take 1/2 cup. When I take out a portion, I'll usually make 2 recipes that week with it. We love it!
