• Recipe Rewind – Teriyaki Sauce

  Filed under Dips/Sauces

  I’m a person who doesn’t use the same recipe twice very often. There are just too many recipes out there that I want to try. So if I do use a recipe more than once, you better believe that it is one I love!!

  I made this Teriyaki sauce back in 2007, and it has remained my favorite recipe for the sauce. It’s not thin like the bottled version, but a thicker sauce that is great for not only marinating, but also dipping. And my past post continues to be one of the most Google-d posts on my blog, so I thought I’d re-post it.

  I used it here on beef and mushroom kabobs, but it would be equally delicious on chicken or pork. And it’s so easy that you’ll have to ask yourself why you never made your own before!

  Teriyaki Sauce
  from Recipezaar.com

  1/4 cup soy sauce
  1 cup water
  1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (i used a couple minced garlic cloves)
  5 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  1-2 tablespoons honey
  2 tablespoons cornstarch
  1/4 cup cold water

  Mix all but cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and begin heating. Mix cornstarch and cold water in a cup and dissolve. Add to sauce in pan. Heat until sauce thickens to desired thickness. Add water to thin if you over-thicken it.

   Isn't it weird looking at what the most googled-posts are? This does look good though, and I never buy terikayi sauce which in turn means I never have any.

   I really need to try this marinade! I always have teriyaki sauce in my pantry and this sauce looks like it must be full of flavor!

   I rarely cook the same twice, too. This one sounds like a keeper and I can see why you've made it more than once! :-p

   I'm the exact same way! I never use a recipe more than once, unless it is knock-your-socks-off good!!

    I'm behind on reading your blog and everyone else's, but you've been making some verrrry delicious food lately! I love the sweetness of teriyake – I'm not surprised it's your most googled recipe.

    We actually didn't eat at any buffets while we were there. Thank you for the tips. I should have emailed you before we left.

    I just moved to Fort Collins, CO from Seattle, and the lack of Teriyaki joints is earth-shattering. I'm gonna make this one over and over.

    Thanks!

    I like the sounds of a thicker teriyaki. I made a thin one and didn't find it to be all that satisfying.

    Just made this with sliced steak tonight. It was awesome! I added about a tablespoon of crushed red pepper (we like it spicy). It added the right amount of heat and it was perfect. I will never buy teriyaki sauce again!

    I use grape jelly instead of honey, it also thickens it to where you dont need to use cornstarch. Give it a try!
