    Authentic Japanese Teriyaki Sauce

    By admin | September 24, 2009



    Authentic Japanese Teriyaki Sauce is so simple to make. Our Teriyaki Sauce recipe has just 3 ingredients. Some Teriyaki Sauce purchased commercially includes other ingredients but that is not the Authentic Japanese recipe. The most important ingredient is Mirin which is a Japanese sweet white wine. The Mirin helps give the food an attractive lustre. If you cannot find Mirin you may substitute Sake with a little extra sugar or honey.

    Teriyaki is actually a Japanese method of cooking where the food is basted several times with Teriyaki sauce during cooking. Teriyaki is 2 words, Teri = Shining, Yaki = to grill. It is this sauce which gives the food its characteristic shiny appearance.

      My husband LOVES teriyaki! How long would this sauce keep for? I presume it’d be kept in the fridge?

      Actually there is no need to keep Teriyaki sauce in a fridge. The high sugar content acts as a preservative so the sauce will keep on the shelf for a considerable time, certainly for a year or two, not that I’ve ever been able to make Teriyaki sauce last that long in this household.!!
