Notes

Basic quick and dirty lunch or dinner.
I marinate my pork belly for an extended period, but even and hour will add much to the flavor.
I'll balance the sauce flavor with brown sugar, mirin, and siracha.
 
Note a simple teriyaki sauce is similar to:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup soy
  • 5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
Mix 1/4 cup COLD water with cornstarch.
Cook 1 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ginger, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium heat. 
Add Cornstarch slurry into the pan
Cook and stir sauce until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
