Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, water, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar and honey dissolve completely.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a smooth slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sesame oil for added depth of flavor.
Transfer the teriyaki dipping sauce to a serving dish or jar and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving; it will thicken further as it cools.
