Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.75 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (for slurry)
- 0.25 cup Crushed pineapple (optional, for added texture)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Scallions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved completely.
If you want added texture, stir in the crushed pineapple at this point.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry.
Slowly add the slurry to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using.
If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
Use the Teriyaki Pineapple Sauce as a glaze, dip, or topping, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
