METHOD

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (235 mL) water, brown sugar, tamari, agave nectar, ginger, and garlic. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir occasionally for 3 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved.

Whisk together the remaining water and corn starch in a small bowl, then add to the saucepan. Stir in the sesame seeds after the mixture has been thoroughly combined. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the corn starch activates and thickens the teriyaki sauce.

Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks in a tightly sealed jar or container.
