How to make Kinders Teriyaki Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup water
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 1/4 cup apple juice
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 green onions, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1:

In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, 1 cup water, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Add minced garlic and ginger to the saucepan.

Step 2:

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 3:

Stir in the apple juice and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 4:

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5:

If desired, stir in sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and texture.

Step 6:

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate.

Tips for Perfect Teriyaki Sauce

• Adjust the amount of sugar and soy sauce to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a bit more sugar or honey. For a saltier flavor, increase the soy sauce.

• If you like a thicker sauce, add a little more cornstarch. For a thinner sauce, reduce the amount of cornstarch or add more water.

• Allow the sauce to simmer slowly over low heat. This helps the flavors to meld together and develop a richer taste.

• When adding the cornstarch mixture, stir constantly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, even consistency.

• If you prefer a tangier sauce, add a bit more rice vinegar or apple juice. Taste as you go to find the perfect balance.
