Simple Teriyaki Sauce

This simple but amazing teriyaki sauce is great for chicken, fish, or meat dishes. I will add a Japanese flavor to noodle stir fries or rice dishes, and can also be used as a dip for dumplings or shrimp.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 5 teaspoons packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup cold water

Steps

1. Combine 1 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ginger, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until nearly heated through, about 1 minute.
2. Mix cornstarch and 1/4 cold water together in a cup; stir until dissolved. Add to the saucepan. Cook and stir sauce until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
