Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Let mixture come to a boil, whisking frequently.
While sauce comes to a boil, create a slurry by adding remaining 1/4 cup water and cornstarch to a small bowl, then whisking until cornstarch is dissolved.
Pour the slurry in the saucepan, then bring the sauce back to a boil, whisking frequently. Once boiling, cook for 1-2 minutes or until desired thickness is reached. For best results, sauce should easily coat the back of a spoon.
Use teriyaki sauce immediately as a sauce, glaze, or dip.
