Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki sauce isn’t hard to make and actually very simple and tasty that you can easily make it at home. In this recipe, I use ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sugar which gives more flavor to the sauce. My kids love this homemade teriyaki sauce and they cannot stop eating them. Also, they like to dip chicken or just add the sauce to the rice.
Normally, when I use teriyaki sauce to marinated meat, I will not add corn starch. However, when I use it as a dipping sauce. Then, I will add corn starch to thicken the sauce a little bit. This recipe can be refrigerated over a week or two. Also, this teriyaki sauce recipe is great to go with chicken, hamburger, meatballs, tofu, and vegetables.

4. Pour soy sauce, white sugar, brown sugar and black pepper let them cook until it’s boiling. Then, turn the fire to very low and simmering for 10-15 minutes.
5. In the meanwhile, in a small container add 2 tablespoons of water and 4 tablespoons corn starch. (It is hard to stir the corn starch because it’s very thick. I suggest to add 2 tablespoons first and stir them well. After that, add the other 2 tablespoons and mix them well.) Remember to mix the corn starch very well before pour into the sauce. Keep stirring the sauce for a minute and wait until it’s boiling again. Then, simmering for 5 minutes. (Try to stir them in between the time.)
