Teriyaki

Teriyaki Sauce
(adapted from recipezaar.com)

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 1/2 cups water

sprinkle of ginger (to taste- I just like a hint)

4 1/2 T. brown sugar

1 minced garlic clove (or 1 t. garlic powder)

3 T. cornstarch

1/3 c. water

1. Combine 1 1/2 c. water, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
2. Dissolve corn starch in 1/3 cup of cold water and add to sauce. Will thicken immediately.
3. Remove from heat.
4. If the sauce is too thick add a little water or soy sauce to thin.

This is a good teriyaki sauce that thickens up nicely. This recipe makes enough for a main dish (stir fry example) that feeds 4 adults.
