Restaurant Teriyaki Sauce

Phenomenal! I wanted to find a good recipe that my sister could have -- she has Celiac disease and can't have gluten, so readily available bottled sauce isn't something we can use. This was just wonderful. Before I added the slurry I had her taste the sauce and she said it tasted just like what she remembered from the restaurants. Five stars and two thumbs up!

A quick tip to those who said their sauce was too watery: a slurry (any type of starch mixed with water) needs to be made with cold to cool -- NEVER HOT -- water and added to SIMMERING liquid. It's okay to bring your liquid to a boil, but you need to lower it again until it's gently boiling with LITTLE waves. You can't just add cornstarch (or any starch) into a hot liquid, it won't bind it, and the liquid can't be too hot or it breaks the starch down and, again, it does nothing.

Honolulu style: fresh ground ginger root use fresh mashed garlic substitute 1-2 tbs Guava Jelly for the honey 1 tbs crushed pineapple or juice 1 whole bay leaf 1 whole star Anise 1 tbs sake store in glass bottle, refrigerate for a day so the flavors mingle. Utilize the corn starch and water slurry to thicken when cooking just before serving, not added as a marinade.

Great sauce. don't listen to the people who said it's watery, etc. They obviously don't know how to cook with corn starch. Mine came out dark, rich & thick. I would probably cut down on the sugar just a little next time, but that's just my own personal taste.

This recipe is really good and flavorful and I generally have everything on hand. This is the second time making it and I made a couple change this time. I used 1/2 cp Orange juice to five it a tropical flavor. You could also use pineapple juice that would be good! I added a touch of sesame oil and some sesame seeds. I used the conrstarch and it did what it was supposed to do..thicken the sauce. If you have trouble with your leftovers pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds then give them a quick whisk and they are perfect again!

My teenage daughter wanted teriyaki chicken for dinner but I don't keep teriyaki sauce in the house. She simply said look up a recipe and make it. She knows I like to try new recipes I find on the Internet So here we are. I didn't have cornstarch, so I used flour as the thickener. My daughter loved the sauce--this recipe is definitely a keeper. NOTE: I omitted the ginger when I made sauce.
