Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

I went to a local restaurant and ordered their Teriyaki Chicken.  It came with grilled chicken breast and grilled pineapple.  I've tried to replicate it because I loved it .  This recipe is a great dipping sauce or glaze.  I just used dried ginger since that was all I had.  So heat up the grill and make some yummy teriyaki chicken!

TERIYAKI SAUCE

2 c. cool water

3/4 c. brown sugar

1/4 c. white sugar

2/3 c. soy sauce

1 tsp. crushed garlic from a jar (or about 2 tsp. powdered garlic)

1/2 tsp. crushed ginger from a jar

4 Tbsp. corn starch
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds (optional)

In a medium size mixing bowl combine all the ingredients and whisk together until sugar is dissolved. Make sure the corn starch has been very well mixed in.  Pour mix into a medium size stock pan, and bring to a boil over medium high heat, whisking constantly.  Allow the sauce to cook on a low boil until thickened.  The sauce naturally darkens as it heats.  Remove from the heat, and use with your favorite dishes, or as a dip for potstickers, eggrolls, and other yummy things. Stir in sesame seeds if desired. You can also add rice vinegar or sesame oil to change the flavors up.
