Wheat Free Classic Teriyaki Sauce

This glossy, deep-amber sauce simmers down into something rich, sweet, and savory, with mirin and a splash of sake bringing gentle sweetness and depth while a touch of sugar rounds out the edges. Whisked together and reduced right on the stovetop, it thickens into that signature glossy coating that clings to a spoon and lacquers whatever it touches. It's a fast, few-ingredient staple that comes together in under ten minutes, perfect for glazing grilled chicken, salmon, or roasted vegetables. Once cooled, it keeps well in the fridge for a couple of weeks, so it's easy to have on hand for busy weeknights. This version is a solid option for a wheat free kitchen, letting you enjoy that classic salty-sweet teriyaki flavor without worry.

Instructions

1
Combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
2
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by about one-third and coats the back of a spoon — a finger drawn through the coating should leave a clean line.
