Easy Teriyaki Sauce Recipe

Here is my simple and easy teriyaki sauce recipe that actually turned out amazing:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sake
2 tsp sugar (option to replace a 1/4 cup of sake with 1/4 cup mirin instead of the sugar)
1/4 cup soy sauce
few slices of ginger (or to taste)
1 clove of garlic (or to taste)

Makes enough for cooking two chicken breasts with some sauce left for rice.

Step 1: Mix sake, soy sauce and sugar.
Step 2: Mince ginger and garlic and add into mixture.
Step 3: Cook mixture on medium heat to reduce amount of liquid a little bit (maybe 5-15 minutes). It is optional to add starch if you want to make a thicker sauce.

You can save sauce for other uses or make Teriyaki Chicken  or Teriyaki Stir-Fry with a few extra steps:

Step 4: Cook chicken in separate pan until mostly cooked through.
Step 5: Add chicken to sauce and cook while stirring and spooning the sauce over the chicken.
Step 6: Add other veggies to the pan and cook together until the liquid of sauce is mostly gone to make a stir-fry.

DONE!
