Teriyaki Sauce

Pardon the fogginess - the steam was messing with my phone!

1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
scant 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and sugar. Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat until it boils and thickens.

This is EXCELLENT on grilled or baked chicken. I prefer to grill it, basting it with the sauce several times as it cooks. If you bake it, line your baking dish with foil, because this stuff sticks like the dickens. Foil makes for MUCH easier cleanup. Just pour the sauce over the raw chicken and bake at 375 degrees till it's done.

I love to serve this with sesame rice.
