Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Stir well to incorporate.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. This will act as a thickening agent for the glaze.
- Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring consistently.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened to your liking. Remember to stir constantly to prevent the glaze from sticking to the pan.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the glaze to cool before using. This will help the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Use this spicy teriyaki glaze as a marinade for your favorite meats, as a glaze for vegetables, or as an extra flavor boost drizzled over rice bowls.
- Any leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Remember to give it a good stir before using.
Tips
- For a gluten-free version, replace the soy sauce with tamari sauce. You can also adjust the heat level by adding or reducing the amount of Sriracha sauce to suit your taste.
