This teriyaki sauce is an essential in my pantry. It’s the shortcut to many dishes I make at home, and the best part is that it’s incredibly simple to create. Use the sauce for marinating or in stir-fries, or reduce it for a thicker consistency. The sauce will last for 6 months in the fridge, but it’ll likely be consumed before then.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) light soy sauce
  • ¾ cup (180

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy, mirin, saké, and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer (do not let it boil). Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Pour the teriyaki sauce into a clean glass jar and let it cool.
  3. Seal the jar with an airtight lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
