A delightful teriyaki glaze recipe, perfect for enhancing your favorite dishes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, dry sherry, low-sodium soy sauce, packed brown sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth sauce.
Pour the sauce mixture into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth.
Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Add the thickener slowly to avoid over-thickening.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
