Easy Teriyaki Sauce
Whisk together this teriyaki sauce and you'll have a fabulous dinner on the table in way less time than it takes to order take out.
Servings: 6 servings, about 1½ cups worth
Ingredients
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
- ½ cup sake (Japanese rice wine)
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup yellow onion roughly chopped
- 5 thin slices of fresh ginger (about an inch worth)
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, onion, and ginger in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 8 minutes. The sauce will thicken and reduce a bit the longer you cook it. (Keep in mind that traditional teriyaki sauce is thin and not especially thick.)
- Pour the sauce through a strainer, discarding the solids. Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
