1 teaspoon (very fine)
Garlic Clove

Instructions
1
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce and sugar over low heat. Stir gently until the sugar fully dissolves, ensuring the mixture does not boil.

Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped scallions.
3
Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a clean glass jar.

Seal the jar tightly and store it in the refrigerator. The teriyaki glaze will develop deeper flavors over time.

For best results, use a light, high-quality soy sauce without caramel coloring. If you're in a pinch, tamari can work, but it may result in a heavier flavor.
