Ingredients

  • 1.25 cup mirin
  • 1.25 cup tamari or soy sauce reduced-sodium
  • .25 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together all ingredients
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring down and bubbling for 4 minutes, or until the sauce has started to thicken.
  3. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely
  4. Transfer to a glass jar with a lid and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Use a non-reactive pan. Stainless steel works best.
  • After bringing the sauce to a boil, immediately reduce the heat to low or just to a simmer. Even then, it may bubble up quite a bit, and it should be watched carefully and stirred to prevent bubbling over.
  • If using as a grill sauce, brush teriyaki sauce on food at the end of cooking time. Because it is a sweet sauce it can burn if brushed on the food too soon.
  • You can use this sauce as a marinade. Just skip the cooking step and marinate your protein or vegetables in the combined ingredients.
  • Your teriyaki sauce may seem thin when you remove it from the heat. But don't worry, it will thicken to the perfect consistency while it cools.
  • This recipe is gluten-free if you use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
  • This recipe is vegan if you swap the honey for agave or corn syrup.
