High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce

Bottled teriyaki sauce is one of those condiments that almost always sneaks in high fructose corn syrup, making it a frustrating off-limits item at the grocery store. This homemade version sidesteps that entirely by using granulated sugar as the only sweetener, so you know exactly what's going into every drop. Tamari, mirin, and sake form a deeply savory, slightly sweet base that tastes genuinely restaurant-quality, and a simple cornstarch slurry brings it to that glossy, clingy consistency you want on grilled chicken, salmon, or stir-fried vegetables. A touch of freshly grated ginger stirred in at the end adds a bright, warming note that really elevates the whole thing. The technique is straightforward — just a small saucepan and a whisk — and the whole process comes together in under ten minutes. Once cooled, it stores beautifully in a sealed jar, so you can make a batch ahead and reach for it all week without second-guessing the label.
