Ingredients

  • ½ cup tamari
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar 3-4 Tablespoons depending on your taste preference.
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Thickening

  • 2 Tablespoons corn flour
  • 2 Tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients (excluding the corn flour and the second measure of water), whisk to combine and begin to heat
  • In a small bowl whisk together the corn flour and water to create a slurry.
  • Add the corn flour slurry to the warmed teriyaki sauce, heat until the mixture comes to the boil and thickens.
  • Remove from the heat, allow to cool and store in the fridge in an airtight jar.

Notes

  • Homemade teriyaki sauce will last in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
  • Sweetness: I have discovered some teriyaki sauces are sweeter than others, and the sweetness you prefer will come down to personal preference. I find 3 tablespoons of sugar is perfect, but if you like it a little sweeter, you can taste and then stir in an extra spoonful of sugar while the sauce is still warm.
  • Tamari: Is gluten-free soy sauce. If you don't need to have gluten-free teriyaki sauce you can just use regular soy sauce.
  • Brown sugar: I like the flavour the brown sugar adds, the recipe works equally well with white sugar, coconut sugar and maple syrup.
  • Rice vinegar: Rice vinegar and rice wine vinegar are the same things.
  • Corn flour (gluten-free): Arrowroot powder will also work.

Ways to use your teriyaki sauce

  • Brush this teriyaki sauce on grilled meats, vegetables or tofu
