- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger finely grated
- 2 tablespoons corn flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions
- In a small glass, combine the two tablespoons of cornflour with about 2-3 tablespoons of the water. Stir well to combine and set aside.
- In a small saucepan set over medium heat, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic and ginger. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer for about 2 minutes. Add all the water and bring to a boil. Pour in the cornflour mixture and stir until it thickens, about one minute. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
- Coat the chicken tenders in the teriyaki sauce and stir well to coat completely.
