How to Make Sweet Teriyaki Marinade

  1. In a sealable bag, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly.
  2. (Optional) Reserve 1 cup of marinade for dipping sauce before adding meat.
  3. Add your chosen meat (chicken, beef, pork, or fish) to the bag. Ensure the meat is fully coated.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  5. Remove meat from marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill according to your preferred method and doneness.
  6. (Optional Dipping Sauce): In a small saucepan, heat the reserved 1 cup of marinade over medium heat.
  7. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
  8. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering marinade.
  9. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
  10. Easily adjust ingredient quantities to suit your needs.
  11. Delicious on virtually any meat or even basted onto fish while grilling!
