Mom's 5-Minute Homemade Teriyaki Marinade

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for thickening)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk everything together until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. If you prefer a thicker marinade, mix the cornstarch in a small bowl with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry, then add it to the marinade mixture. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened. If you like a more intense flavor, let it simmer a bit longer.
  4. Once your marinade has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool before using it to marinate your proteins or vegetables.
  5. For the best results, marinate your choice of proteins for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator. This allows all the fantastic flavors to soak in.
