Mustard Free Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki sauce is one of those pantry staples that transforms a simple weeknight dinner into something genuinely craveable — glossy, sweet, and deeply savory all at once. Most store-bought versions are a minefield for anyone avoiding mustard, since condiments and sauces often sneak it in as a flavor booster or emulsifier, so making your own is the smartest move. This version builds its rich, balanced flavor from tamari, mirin, and sake, with just enough sugar to give it that signature lacquered finish. A quick cornstarch slurry is the secret to getting that thick, glossy consistency that clings beautifully to chicken, salmon, tofu, or roasted vegetables. Optional fresh ginger adds a bright, warming kick that takes the whole thing to another level. It comes together in under ten minutes and stores easily in a sealed jar, so you can keep a batch on hand all week.
