Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki sauce is one of those pantry staples that sounds simple but can be a minefield when you're avoiding gluten — most store-bought versions sneak in regular soy sauce, which is brewed with wheat. This homemade version swaps in tamari, which delivers that same deep, savory punch without any wheat in the mix. Mirin and sake bring a gentle sweetness and complexity that make this sauce taste genuinely restaurant-quality, while a small cornstarch slurry gives it that glossy, clingy consistency you want on grilled chicken, salmon, or roasted vegetables. A touch of freshly grated ginger at the end adds a bright, warming note that really elevates the whole thing. The whole process takes under ten minutes from start to finish, and the result is a sauce you'll want to keep in a jar in your fridge all week. It works beautifully as a glaze, a marinade, or a dipping sauce — and makes four servings, so there's plenty to go around.
