Teriyaki Sauce

I’ve been playing with sake and made Japanese-style teriyaki sauce. Pretty easy to do with a few simple ingredients. This is such a versatile sauce and can be used as a marinade or sauce for all your favorite proteins!!!

Ingredients:
3/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup sake
3/4 cup mirin
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 knob of ginger, halved

Steps:

Make Teriyaki Sauce – Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Reduce to a simmer and simmer the sauce down for about 20 minutes or to desired consistency.

Tips:

  • If you don’t have sake, Chinese cooking wine, dry sherry, and dry vermouth are good substitutes. Good ol water or broth is fine too.
  • To thicken the sauce faster, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and mix it in.
