Infuse your dishes with a burst of tropical flavor using this Hawaiian Teriyaki Marinade, a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy notes. Crafted with a harmonious blend of soy sauce, pineapple juice, and brown sugar, this marinade is elevated by the bold presence of garlic, fresh ginger, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness. A dash of sesame oil and rice vinegar adds depth and complexity, while a quick cornstarch slurry gently thickens the sauce for a glossy finish. Ready in just 15 minutes, this versatile marinade complements chicken, pork, beef, tofu, or veggies, making it a go-to recipe for grilling, roasting, or stir-frying. Marinate your ingredients overnight for maximum flavor infusion or use it as a glaze during cooking for that irresistible caramelized finish. Hawaiian-style cooking has never been easier!
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Pour the marinade mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the marinade thickens slightly.
Remove the marinade from heat and let it cool to room temperature before using.
Use the marinade to coat chicken, pork, beef, tofu, or vegetables. Marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor.
Alternatively, use the marinade as a glaze by brushing it onto food during the cooking process.
