The main components
- Low sodium soy sauce. I use green-top soy sauce as the foundation of my sauce. It may seem salty, but trust me, it mixes beautifully with other ingredients. You can replace Light Tamari without changes.
- Sugar. I use granular sugar that balances soy sauce and prepares our Teriyaki sauce thick and shiny. Feel free to try brown sugar, coconut sugar or even honey, but remember that these can make sauce sweeter. If you love honey, you can enjoy this Honey Teriyaki ChickenAuthority
- Great. Do not emphasize about buying Teriyaki sauce. Use something you would like to enjoy drinking, but it should not be up to the top of the shelf. If you can’t find, Mirin (sweet rice wine) also works well. You can exchange it directly or slightly reduce the recipe for sugar.
- Rice vinegar. This adds a little Zing to the sauce. You can usually find it at other pending grocery store. For substitutes, try white wine vinegar or plain white vinegar. Don’t worry if the sauce seems a little stronger after adding to vinegar, spices will be removed because they cook.
- Fresh ginger (optional): I like to crush it with a thorough micro to make it melted with sauce.

Adam and Junny tips
- Replacement for the sake. We love the delicate taste of Teriyaki sauce, but if you can’t find it, there are some alternatives. Mirin is a sweeter version for the sake. You can either exchange it for the sake and leave the amount of sugar, as well as the amount of sugar to fit the extra sweetness (try 3/4 cup sugar). Dry Vermouth or Dry Shern can also work as a substitute.
- Can I reduce sugar? Soy sauce with sugar 1. 1 ratio makes a well-balanced sauce for great teriyaki restaurants and bottled sauces. It’s delicious but if you are worried about sugar, you can leave it down. 1/4 cups or even 1/2 cups to work with 1/4 cups or even 1/2 cup. Because the sauce doesn’t have to cook a long time, you can taste it when you go. Start 1/2 cup, taste, then lift sugar until you are satisfied with salt and sweet balance.
- Gage We use a micro-clump grater for ginger that helps “melt” sauce. You can cut it into small but will remain in ginger pieces with sauce.
- Cornstarch: With our recipe we exclude corn. Some recipes of Teriyaki sauce are called to a small corn mix of corn with added water to condense sauce. We find the sauce enough for a few minutes of sauce to thicken enough for us, but you can include it in case of preferable.
