Teriyaki sauce is a thick glaze brushed onto meats that are baked, broiled or grilled. The base is made from soy sauce, along with sugar and other seasonings. This recipe uses monk fruit sweetener in place of the sugar for a lower calorie, healthier sauce.

How to make this recipe

1-  Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2 – Mix together cornstarch, cold water, monk fruit sweetener, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic clove, ground ginger and black pepper in a small saucepan. Let the sauce simmer over low heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
