Homemade Teriyaki Sauce Recipe
Description
The recipe combines soy sauce for saltiness, mirin and sake for sweetness and depth, and honey as a natural sweetener. They are whisked together until fully combined. The sauce can be made up to two weeks ahead or stored refrigerated for up to four weeks to develop flavor. It also freezes well, though it must be boiled before use after thawing to restore texture and safety.
Variations suggested include adding garlic, ginger, onion, or rice vinegar to customize flavor. Honey can be substituted with cane or brown sugar, requiring gentle cooking to dissolve the sugar. Mirin may be replaced with sherry wine, and sake with vodka and water equal parts if unavailable. This flexibility allows the sauce to be suited to different tastes and ingredient availability.

- 1 ½ cups soy sauce
- ¾ cup mirin
- 1 cup sake
- ¾ cup honey
Instructions
