Teriyaki Sauce (homemade)



This delicious concoction came out of the need to add protein dinner (and only having plain chicken in the fridge).  I have been experimenting with different cuisine's and decided I would try to tackle Asian next (or should I say inspired by Asian flavors).  For various reasons (we live in NYC and there is amazing Asian cuisine) I have never tried to make anything Asian.  And because of that I thoguht I would start simple with an oh-so-easy-and-versatile Teriyaki Sauce.

I had originally intended to make this sauce as a marinade for plain chicken, but then realized this is maybe the most versatile sauce ever.  You can use it as a maranaide, dipping sauce, in fried rice, as a glaze for fish, as a garnish on sushi, etc...

And...are you ready for the best part???  It took all of 10 minutes to make (maybe less).  You must give this one a try!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup low sodium soy sauce (if you don't have low sodium you can also use regular) 
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar 
  • 1 tsp ground ginger 
  • 1 tsp garlic powder  
 Directions:
  1. In a small sauce pan add all ingredients on low heat until the sugar, ginger and garlic powder are dissolved into the soy sauce.  
  2. Marinade or dip or mix and enjoy!
