My brother-in-law George, who was a Michelin Star Chef, taught
me how to say goodbye to store-bought sauces when he explained and shared his
recipes for various sauces! Teriyaki Sauce was one of those he shared. This quick and simple homemade recipe uses
pantry staples, allowing you to customize the flavors. Versatile and delicious, it’s the perfect way
to elevate any protein!
Ingredients
⅔ cup water
¼ cup soy sauce
2-3 tablespoons honey or more to taste *
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup sake (or soju)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar ***
2 tablespoons pineapple juice **
1 clove minced garlic or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon grated ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds ****
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
Instructions

optional ingredients in a small to medium saucepan set over medium heat.
