Teriyaki Sauce - A Family Feast

Teriyaki Sauce

When looking to buy a ‘good quality’ soy sauce – check the ingredients list and look for a sauce where the first or second ingredient is soy beans. A lesser quality soy sauce will often list salt as the first ingredient or have soy beans way down the list.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup good-quality soy sauce (see note above)
  • 1/4 cup dark soy sauce (if dark soy sauce is not available or too intense for your taste, just use one full cup of regular soy sauce instead of the 3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons sweet rice wine or mirin (optional)
  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 cup agave nectar or honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic (will be strained out after cooking)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger (will be strained out after cooking)

Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for three minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and strain over a container using a fine sieve. Discard ginger and garlic.
  3. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze in zip lock bags for up to three months.
