Japanese Teriyaki Sauce

This homemade Japanese teriyaki sauce is sweet, savory, and perfect for marinating meats or as a glaze.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
Continue to cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool before using.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
