Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, water, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar and honey dissolve completely.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a smooth slurry.

Step 4

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sesame oil for added depth of flavor.

Step 7

Transfer the teriyaki dipping sauce to a serving dish or jar and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 8
