Teriyaki Sauce
My version of the traditional teriyaki sauce – perfect as a stir-fry sauce or marinade and ready in just a few minutes.
Active Time: 7 minutes
Cook Time: 4 minutes
Total Time: 7 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
- 4 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce - you can also use regular soy sauce if that’s what you’ve got in the cupboard
- 4 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 inch cube fresh ginger
INSTRUCTIONS
- Finely grate the ginger (1 inch cube)
- Put all of the ingredients (grated ginger, 4 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce, 4 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 3 tbsp dark brown sugar) into a bowl and give it a good stir.
- Heat a wok or frying pan until sizzling hot. Add the ingredients and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until it has reduced to about half the volume you started with, it will also darken in colour and become glossier. Stir constantly.
- Remove from the heat and it’s now ready to use.
NOTES
If you’re making this as a marinade rather than a stir-fry sauce then simply stop at step 2 and use it to marinade your chosen meat or fish.
