Equipment
- Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced or grated
- 2 tablespoons mirin / rice wine
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil optional, for added flavor
- Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch if you want to thicken the marinade into a sauce
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and mirin. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
- If using sesame oil, add it to the mixture and stir to combine. The sesame oil adds a nutty flavor to the marinade.
- Taste the marinade and adjust the sweetness or saltiness according to your preference. You can add more brown sugar for sweetness or more soy sauce for saltiness.
- Note: This makes a thin marinade.
- Tip: If you would like to turn it into a thicker teriyaki sauce, then whisk in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water, and heat, stirring often, in a pan over a low/medium heat until thick.
