Oats Free Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki sauce is one of those kitchen staples that makes everything taste better — grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, stir-fried noodles, you name it. The problem is that many store-bought versions sneak in additives or are processed on shared lines that can make label-reading a real headache. This homemade version keeps things clean and simple, built on tamari, mirin, sake, and a touch of sugar for that glossy, sweet-savory balance you're after. A quick cornstarch slurry is all it takes to get that perfect, clingy consistency that coats whatever you're cooking like a dream. Optional fresh ginger adds a bright, warming kick that takes the whole thing up a notch. It comes together in under ten minutes on the stovetop, and the result is a silky, restaurant-quality sauce you can use as a glaze, a marinade, or a dipping sauce straight from the jar.
