Terriaki, well, umm, EVERYTHING!

Have you ever gone to a Chinese restraunt, feel in love with the terriaki sauce, but could never find that sauce again... Yep, I have been there!  So I tried and tried to recreate my favorite, and Presto, I have done it!!!  I love this sauce on chicken, or tossed in some noodles with veggies!

Terriaki Sauce
Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup of water
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
5 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
1-2 Tablespoons Honey

2 Tablespoons cornstrach
1/2 cup cold water

Directions:
1. Mix the top 7 ingredients in a small bowl, and begin to heat.
2. Mix cornstarch and the 1/4 cup water together in a cup and dissolve.  Add to sauce in pan.
3. Heat until sauce thickens to desired thickness. 
4. Add water to thin if it gets to thick.

For yummy terriaki noodles
1.  boil and rinse linguine noodles (I break them into thirds before putting them in to boil so that they are smaller in size).
2. I use the wide shred and shred a large carrot or a handful of baby carrots and add the carrots and frozen peas (I microwave to cook, then use half the package) to the noodles. 
3. add sauce and toss together to coat.

For Terriaki Chicken:
1. Cut Chicken breast into bite size pieces, and dredge though egg then through seasoned flour to coat.
2.  Fry on medium heat in about 2 Tablespoons of oil until golden.  Cover a plate with paper towels and let fried chicken rest for about 5 minutes. 
3.  Make sauce and toss over chicken.  Serve while warm!
