Original recipe makes 2 Servings
Base Ingredients:
1/2 cupSoy sauce
1/2 cupMirin; (sweet sake)
Flavoring:
1/2 tspgarlic; ground
1/2 tspGinger; ground
1 tspHuy Fong Sriracha sauce
Thickening:
1/2 tspcornstarch
1/8 cupWater

Teriyaki Sauce, Thick or Spicy Preparation

Step One: Base. In a medium sized sauce pan bring the soy sauce, mirin, ginger and garlic to a boil, stirring regularly to prevent burning.

Step Two: Thickening. If you would like to thicken the sauce to use as a heavy coating for chicken or other protein, lower pot temperature to medium. Take the cornstarch and dissolve in 1/8 cup water and add to the boiling mixture in Step One. Change the amount of cornstarch to make the sauce thicker, add water to thin the sauce.

Step Three: Heat! If you prefer a spicy sauce add in the Huy Fong Sriracha sauce to taste after Step 1 for thin sauce or Step 2 for thick sauce. 1 teaspoon adds a lingering burn but is not overwhelming.

    This recipe is good. Really close to Seattle style teriyaki sauce.

    For a dipping sauce complete Step One
    For a coating or basting sauce, complete Step One and Two.
    Step Three can be used for either the dipping sauce or coating sauce.

    Ingredients like Mirin and Huy Fong Sriracha sauce can be found in the ethnic/asian section of most grocery stores, or at your local asian food market. [I posted this recipe.]
