This couple came through my line at work the other day, complaining about the lack of good Chinese or Japanese restraunts in Fargo. They asked me if I knew of any but since they named my favorite Chinese restraunt as one of the worst they went to I thought it prudent not to give them a recommendation.
I also thought if you are that unhappy with the restraunts food learn how to cook it yourself at home that way you can always get your food exactly the way you want it. When I got home I started combing my files to see if I had any Chinese or Japenese recipes to try. I found this Teriyaki sauce recipe on one of my pintrest boards so I decided to give it a try.
I decided to make a Teriyaki chicken and I have to say it turned out way better then anything I have had at my favorite restraunt. If you don’t thicken it the sauce can be used as a marinade. The thickened sauce would also be great as a dipping sauce or a stir fry sauce.
Teriyaki Sauce
1 tsp garlic, minced
1/8 tsp ground ginger
2 1/2 TBS dried onion flakes
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 TBS cornstarch
6 TBS sugar
1 1/2 TBS apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp canola oil
In a small bowl, mix all ingredients, except for the cornstarch, stirring it until the sugar dissolves. This is a great place to stop if you would like to marinate something.
To make it Teriyaki sauce, place the marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat until lightly boiling. Slowly stir in the cornstarch. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Enjoy.
