How to Make Restaurant Teriyaki Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup soy sauce, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup mirin, 2 tablespoons sake (optional), 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Bring the sauce mixture in the saucepan to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue whisking constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Add a teaspoon or two of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
- Serve immediately over your favorite protein or vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
