This quick and easy homemade teriyaki sauce is perfect for adding a touch of Japanese flavor to your meals. Whether you're marinating meat, topping fish, stir-frying noodles, dressing up rice dishes, or dunking chicken wings and dumplings, this sauce does it all.
Combine 1 cup of water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ginger, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Gently heat for about a minute, until everything is almost warmed through.
In a cup, mix the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of cold water until it dissolves, then add this to the saucepan.
Keep cooking and stirring the sauce until it thickens, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Now your sauce is ready to enjoy with your favorite dishes!
