Instructions
Combine the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, orange juice, water, light brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger) in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the brown sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk the cornstarch and cold water together to make your slurry.
Pour the slurry into your sauce mixture and whisk to combine. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, as the sauce thickens. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and use in your favorite recipe or allow to cool completely before storing.
Notes
*Nutrition information is calculated for the whole 2 cup batch of teriyaki sauce. I typically use only ¼ to ½ cup per recipe.
If your sauce thickens too much, add a drizzle of water to thin to your desired consistency.
