Teriyaki Marinade/Sauce

Hello All,

I have been experimenting with Teriyaki sauce the past few weeks. Last week I got pretty close to what I've been shooting for. This recipe is modified from one provided by Tyler Florence. It is scalable. I have a large family so the recipe below represents a double batch. I typically cook between 15 and 20 pieces of chicken on the grill. This recipe is perfect for that amount of bird. The marinade is best made a day or so ahead of time to give it time to come together. I have successfully used it as a marinade and thickened it for a sauce. The family really enjoys this recipe!



Ingredients:


Teriyaki Marinade:

1 Cup Soy Sauce (low sodium)
1 Cup Orange Juice
1 sm can Crushed Pineapple (in juice)
4 Tbs Minced Ginger (use fresh)
2 tsp Minced Garlic
2 tsp Sesame Oil

1 Cup Chopped Green Onion
4 Tbs Sugar (or substitute Stevia Extract)



Teriyaki Sauce:


½ batch Teriyaki Marinade
1 TBS Corn Starch


Directions:
Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, OJ, crushed pineapple (use the juice too), ginger, garlic, green onion, and sugar. Stir over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow the marinade to cool and store in the fridge overnight prior to using. If you want to make sauce, heat half of the marinade over medium high heat and whisk in a slurry made of the corn starch and water to thicken to your desired consistency (I like mine fairly thick so it behaves like a BBQ sauce on the grill).

Variations: You can add crushed red pepper flake to give it some zing. Just add it with the rest of the ingredients at the beginning...
 
So are you saying that you use 1/4 of the (above) double batch or a single batch when making the teriyaki sauce??

Confusing.

Len,

Sorry for the confusion. I make a double batch of the original recipe because I am usually cooking a lot of chicken (the ingredients reflect my normal double batch). Scale it to whatever size you need to cook for your group. After you have made the marinade, save half of it to thicken for sauce if you want sauce...

Regards,

John
