How to Make Moon's Korean Teriyaki Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients (see ingredient list for quantities): soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. For a thicker sauce, whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir into the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
  5. Remove from heat and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids. Let cool completely before using.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
