Teriyaki Sauce #glutenfree #japanesesauce #homemade

What was your first thought when you saw that the recipe for this post was Teriyaki Sauce? You probably thought that it is simpler to buy and cheaper too. That may be correct, but the pure and traditional Japanese teriyaki sauce is cooked using only 100% Japanese soy sauce, mirin , sake, honey and sugar. There is NO water added giving a sauce, rich of sweetness and salty of taste.
This sauce can be kept for several months in the fridge. You can use it when cooking Japanese teriyaki dishes, for bbq, to marinate meats.... Please check our gluten-free teriyaki dishes. There are more to come soon.
Here is the recipe I used before when I worked as Japanese chef!

Ingredients:

2 cups Japanese Soy Sauce- KIKKOMAN is the best

Ingredients

1 cup Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine)
1 cup Sake (Cooking Rice Wine)*
1 cup White Sugar
1/2 cup Honey
1 Onion - cut in half
1 Apple - cut in half
1 Carrot - cut into pieces
1 Spring Onion/ Leek
1/2 Lemon
Little fresh/ dry Chilli if you like
*you can use half sake, half white/red wine if you like

Method:

Place all ingredients into a large saucepan and cook on medium heat until boiling - be sure to watch the sauce as it is easy to boil over and lose the sauce.
After the sauce is boiling, turn to low heat and cook for another 45 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
Drain and put into the clean container/bottle after cooling.
Keep in dry cold place or fridge.

Strain or drain and bottle when cool
