Ingredients

Basic Easy Teriyaki Sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce I like reduced sodium
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4-5 tablespoons honey to taste

Flavor Add Ins

2-4 tablespoons rice vinegar to taste
4 tablespoons crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
1 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon green onions

Instructions

In a small pot whisk soy sauce, water, cornstarch and honey together until smooth. Add any of the optional additional ingredients you are using (vinegar, garlic, ginger, etc) .
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and whisk constantly until desired thickness is reached, about 8-10 minutes. Do not leave unattended it thickens quickly once it gets boiling and will rapidly burn. It will continue to thicken as it cools so remove it before it looks to the consistency you are after.
Taste and adjust as desired. If too thick, thin with additional water to desired consistency.

Notes

Sauce will thicken as it stands. If too thick simply whisk in a few tablespoons of warm water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
