I am not a fan of bottled or packaged teriyaki sauces. They are either too sweet or kind of bitter, they just never seem to taste right to me.
Here is a recipe I have used for ages and adapted over the years to suit my families particular likes. This recipe will keep for several weeks stored in your fridge.
In a medium size mixing bowl combine all the ingredients and whisk together until sugar is dissolved. Make sure the corn starch has been very well mixed in. Pour mix into a medium size stock pan, and bring to a boil over medium high heat, whisking constantly. Allow the sauce to cook on a low boil until thickened. The sauce naturally darkens as it heats. Remove from the heat, and use with your favorite dishes, or as a dip for potstickers, eggrolls, and other yummy things. Stir in sesame seeds if desired. You can also add rice vinegar or sesame oil to change the flavors up.
I use this sauce (all the time) often when I need a quick meal. I cook some rice in my rice steamer, throw some frozen cooked shrimp into a skillet with chopped green onions and frozen broccoli, add about 1/4 cup water, cover and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove the lid, add the teriyaki sauce, heat again and serve over the rice! I do the same thing with leftover chicken too. I love how quickly the meal can come together. Give this recipe a try.
