Pecan Free Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce
Homemade teriyaki sauce is one of those kitchen staples that tastes dramatically better than anything from a bottle, and this version delivers that glossy, sweet-savory depth in just a few minutes on the stovetop. Tamari stands in for conventional soy sauce, making this naturally gluten free without any special substitutions or hard-to-find products. The mirin and sake bring a gentle complexity, while the cornstarch slurry pulls everything together into a sauce that clings beautifully to whatever you're glazing. A touch of freshly grated ginger at the end adds a bright, aromatic lift that really elevates the whole thing. Use it immediately as a sticky glaze over grilled chicken or salmon, or let it cool and keep it in a jar in the fridge for weeknight meals all week long. It's the kind of simple, clean recipe that makes you wonder why you ever reached for a store-bought bottle in the first place.
