How to Make Terriyaki Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 1/4 cup sake (or dry sherry), 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Continue to simmer and whisk until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. Add a little more water if it becomes too thick.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
