Homemade teriyaki sauce is perfect for spooning over cooked meats, tossing into noodles, throwing into stir-fries, or dipping and dunking into chicken wings!
Combine all ingredients and blend together with an immersion blender. The sauce will be thin as we are NOT adding cornstarch at this point.
Store in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator.
To Use and Thicken
To use, add about 1/2 cup of homemade teriyaki sauce to cooked meat or noodles in a skillet (for a family sized meal). To thicken, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to about 1/4 cup of water and whisk or stir to make a slurry. Add slurry to the skillet and simmer until thickened.
Notes
Sauce can be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
Our version of homemade teriyaki sauce uses both oyster sauce and soy sauce. Oyster sauce is thicker in consistency and is slightly sweeter than soy sauce. You can simply sub the oyster sauce out with more soy sauce but the results may be a bit thinner than shown in the photos.
