What You Will Require
water: this serves as the foundation of the liquid/sauce.
sesame oil: I adore the flavor this contributes – a small amount goes a long way!
brown sugar + honey: both of these ingredients provide that signature sweetness characteristic of teriyaki sauce. You may substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar if that is your preference.
soy sauce: a traditional ingredient in teriyaki sauce – you can opt for a gluten-free alternative here (such as coconut aminos, etc.).
garlic + fresh ginger: these ingredients impart a significant burst of flavor!
Slurry: mix some water and cornstarch to create a classic slurry, which will then be added as our thickening agent to the liquid.
