Carrageenan Free Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce

Homemade teriyaki sauce is one of those kitchen staples that tastes infinitely better than anything from a bottle — and when you make it yourself, you know exactly what's in it. Store-bought versions are notorious for sneaking in thickeners and stabilizers like carrageenan, which can be genuinely hard to avoid if you're scanning labels at the grocery store. This version keeps things clean and straightforward: tamari, mirin, sake, sugar, and a simple cornstarch slurry to get that glossy, clingy consistency you want on grilled chicken, salmon, or roasted vegetables. The cornstarch does all the thickening work here, so the sauce comes together beautifully without any additives you'd rather skip. A little fresh ginger stirred in at the end adds a bright, slightly spicy note that makes the whole thing feel restaurant-quality. It comes together in under ten minutes and stores easily in a sealed jar, so you can keep a batch on hand for weeknight dinners whenever the craving hits.
