Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Soy Sauce (preferably Aloha Shoyu)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Pineapple Juice (100% juice, no added sugar)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (cold, to dissolve cornstarch)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water to create a smooth slurry.
Once the sauce is simmering, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry to the pan. Continue to stir as the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Store the teriyaki sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or stir before use.
