Kelly's Kihei, Maui Teriyaki Sauce

This is a recipe that we used growing up on Maui. We mostly used it to marinade chicken or beef short rips and then grill the. Because of the sugar content, like barbecue sauce, be careful because it burns easily. I always cook on the grill using indirect heat.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4-8

Ingredients

• 2  cups soy sauce
• 1  cup brown sugar
• 2  fresh garlic cloves
• 3  tablespoons fresh ginger
• 1  tablespoon  sesame oil
• 1  teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1  scallion

Directions

1. Grate ginger root, crush garlic, and dice scallion. Mix all ingredients together until sugar dissolves pretty well.
2. Marinade your choice of meat (I use a ziplock bag) for at least 4 hours, but better overnight.
3. Grill and enjoy! Serve "local style" with sticky rice and macaroni salad! Note: preparation time does not include marinating time!
