Homemade Teriyaki Sauce Recipe
I love using teriyaki sauce in my cooking because of its unique combination of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. It's a staple in my kitchen and I know many others around the world feel the same way. I believe that making your own teriyaki sauce is a special experience, even though store-bought options are readily available. Today, I'll share with you a simple, authentic recipe for homemade teriyaki sauce. I love making homemade teriyaki sauce because it requires a mix of Japanese tastes. You need soy sauce, mirin, sake, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water to make it perfect. I balance salty, sweetness, and umami to make my teriyaki sauce. To make the sauce, you can combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Please stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves over medium heat. To make this recipe, you'll want to mix cornstarch and water in a basin. Then, gently pour the mixture into the pot while stirring. I thicken and gloss the sauce. To obtain your desired consistency, you can simmer the sauce on low heat for 5 minutes. After you've let the sauce cool down, you can put it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks.
