Forget the bottled stuff, you can make this homemade teriyaki sauce in 10 minutes and it tastes AMAZING! 

I often double the recipe when I make this sauce because it stays good for a long time in the refrigerator. It’s a great way to add flavor to a meal when you are in a hurry so having it on hand is nice.

There are many different ways to use this tasty sauce. I love making teriyaki chicken to serve over rice or noodles or using it for a stir-fry. This sauce also makes a great marinade for chicken, shrimp or salmon.

Teriyaki Sauce Recipe

How to make teriyaki sauce:

  • Start with adding soy sauce, water, minced garlic and ginger, brown sugar, honey and sesame oil to a medium size saucepan.
  • Over medium heat, whisk the sauce for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Slowly pour in a mixture of cornstarch and cold water to thicken up the sauce.
  • Cook for and additional 3-4 minutes.
  • If you don’t have fresh garlic and ginger you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • The sauce will last for 4-6 months if kept in the refrigerator.
