Easy Teriyaki Marinade

🧂 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed

  (1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  (or 2 cloves minced garlic)

Instructions

• 1 Combine all marinade ingredients into a medium bowl.
  
  Gently whisk ingredients. Allow the mixture sit for 10 minutes until sugar is
  completely dissolved. Whisk through once more before using.
  
  Use marinade immediately or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight
  container for up to 5 days.
  
  Recipe makes 1 1/4 cups of marinade.
• 2 Marinating times:
  
  Beef, pork, and lamb for 4-12 hours.
  
  Chicken and other poultry for 4-8 hours.
  
  Fish, seafood, vegetables and meat substitutes for 1-2 hours.
• 3 How to make the sauce:
  
  Place marinade ingredients into a small saucepan.
  
  Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally and watch for burning.
  Reduce the heat as needed.
  
  Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. If the mixture is too runny, thicken with
  a cornstarch solution.
  
  Dissolve 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water.
  
  Turn the heat up on your stove to medium-high and whisk in the cornstarch
  slurry.
  
  Let the teriyaki sauce simmer for 30 seconds to activate the cornstarch.
  
  The mixture will be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  
  Remove saucepan from heat, cover, and keep warm until ready to use.
