Friday’s Last Spoonful: Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

Customized flavor of Asia

This Asian sauce possesses the right combination of tangy, salty, and sweet. Look for a quality soy sauce that’s the most common and popular main ingredient to this tasty sauce. A sweet food item, such as brown sugar, honey, or molasses helps bring out and enhance the flavors in the total recipe. Several different recipes exist from very simple to complex. We suggest making your own teriyaki sauce if you need to control the salt and sugar content. Also, look for a few varieties at your local gourmet foods store. Here’s our rendition:

What you will need:

1 spoon
1 medium-sized bowl
1/3 Cup honey (or brown sugar)
¾ Cup soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons green onion, sliced

Optional ingredients:

Juice of ½ lemon
1 teaspoons ginger, minced
1/2 tsp of sesame seed
1/2 tsp of pepper flakes

Combine all in ingredients in bowl. Mix well and the sauce is ready to use for marinades or seasoning.
