Originating in Japan, Teriyaki sauce is a sweet and savory glaze traditionally used in grilling meats. The name 'teriyaki' refers to the cooking technique of grilling, while the sauce itself highlights the balance of umami from soy sauce and sweetness from sugar. Today, Teriyaki sauce is popular worldwide, often used in various dishes beyond its original context, including stir-fries and marinades.

Ingredients

  • soy sauce
  • mirin
  • sugar
  • sake
  • ginger
  • garlic
  • cornstarch
  • water

Instructions

  1. 1Combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake in a saucepan.
  2. 2Grate ginger and garlic, then add to the saucepan.
  3. 3Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  4. 4Simmer for 5-7 minutes to blend flavors.
  5. 5Mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. 6Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly.
  7. 7Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. 8Remove from heat and let cool before using.
