Easy Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

Alright guys, have you made homemade teriyaki sauce before? Well, you are about to start. It is ridiculously easy, tastes amazing and will make you wonder why you ever bought it from a store before. It is a great sauce to make on a weekend and work into the rest of your week to up your weeknight-dinner-game. I make a double or triple batch of it and then use it in various recipes throughout the week. It can be used as a marinade or a simple sauce and it is a must-have for your culinary repertoire (we love it on this Delicious Teriyaki Salmon!

What You Will Need

water: this is the base of the liquid/sauce.

sesame oil: love the flavor this adds – a little goes a long way!

brown sugar + honey: both of these add in that classic sweetness of a teriyaki sauce. You can use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar if you prefer.

soy sauce: a classic teriyaki sauce ingredient – you can use a gluten-free option instead here (like coconut aminos, etc.).

garlic + fresh ginger: these add such a punch of flavor!

Slurry: combine some water and cornstarch to make a classic slurry which is then added as our thickener to the liquid.
