Teriyaki Sauce
Description
This Teriyaki Sauce recipe combines three main ingredients: mirin, a sweet Japanese rice wine, low-sodium soy sauce for controlled saltiness, and sugar. The mixture is gently simmered to reduce and thicken slightly, concentrating the flavors without caramelizing or burning the sugars.
The resulting sauce exhibits a glossy texture with a harmonious balance of sweetness and umami, suitable for coating grilled meats, brushing on vegetables, or stirring into dishes that benefit from a mild glaze.
The preparation's simplicity makes it easy to customize thickness or sweetness as needed by adjusting simmer time or sugar content.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup mirin sweet rice wine, Japanese
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the Teriyaki Sauce in a saucepan.

Notes
- Watch the cooking video on the recipe page for a detailed step-by-step guide to making the sauce.
