Ingredients

Servings
  • Cup brown sugar
  • ¼ Cup sake or Vodka, *see Notes
  • ½ Cup soy sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon jaggery (optional) *see Notes

Instructions

  1. Add sake to a pot with the brown sugar. (jaggery can be added optionaly to add flavor)
  2. Mix the content and keep on the stove to heat up slowly.
  3. Pour soy sauce into the pot and mix.
  4. Keep pot over medium heat and bring teriyaki sauce to a rolling boil.
  5. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce sauce to desired thickness. Keep in mind that sauce will thicken furthr when cool.
  6. Store in a clean jar or use in your food to make teriyaki chicken for example.

Notes

  • Use sake or any other neutral tasting liquor such as vodka. My japanese friends abroad recommend using vodka if you can't get sake.
  • We used regular kikkoman style soy sauce.
  • Jaggery is optional, I didn't add it in the video but it adds flavor. Substitute also with rapadura, panela, piloncillo or kokuto (japanese version).
  • To make a thicker teriyaki sauce, cook it 5 minutes further down over a low temperature setting until it thickens up.
  • The whole batch makes about ½ a cup or 120 ml in quantity.
