Teriyaki Sauce

Ingredients Sauce:

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger

OR

Disney Style Sauce:

1 cup Aji-Mirin

1 cup soy sauce

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 tablespoon ginger, chopped

Directions

Sauce: Combine ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. This will be VERY runny. We pretty much always add the cornstarch to thicken it a bit.

Glaze: To make glaze: Mix 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Heat sauce on medium-high heat and add the cornstarch water mixture. Simmer until thickened.

Thicker sauce for dipping: Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water (I mix 2/2 and add about half, adding more until I reach desired consistency). Heat sauce on medium-high heat and add the cornstarch water mixture. Simmer until thickened.
