Ingredients in Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki sauce is a sauce that is rich, thick, and filled with umami flavors. Soy Sauce – Most teriyaki sauces have a base of soy sauce and water however, I love adding orange juice (or pineapple juice) for extra flavor. While I often use low-sodium soy sauce, this recipe tastes best with regular soy sauce. Garlic/Ginger – Garlic and ginger add great flavor to this sauce. Freeze ginger and grate it with a box grater right from frozen for sauces and stir fries. Fresh ginger is best, but in a pinch, replace it with ¼ teaspoon ground ginger. Sweetness -Brown sugar is the sweetener of choice, but in a pinch, white sugar or honey will work. Variations – For added flavor, try adding sesame seeds, green or minced white onions, and citrus zest.
