Seed Oil Free Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki sauce should be glossy, sticky, and deeply savory — and this homemade version absolutely delivers on all three. Most bottled teriyaki sauces sneak in soybean oil or other refined vegetable oils as filler, which makes them a no-go if you're keeping your kitchen clean. This recipe skips all of that entirely, relying on tamari, mirin, sake, and sugar to build that classic sweet-savory depth the right way. A simple cornstarch slurry is whisked in toward the end, giving the sauce that gorgeous, lacquered consistency that clings to whatever you're glazing. Optional fresh ginger adds a bright, warming kick that takes the whole thing up a notch. It comes together in under ten minutes and stores beautifully in a sealed jar, so you can keep a batch on hand for weeknight dinners whenever the craving hits.
