This glossy, spoonable sauce gets its deep savory-sweet backbone from a naturally thickened base, brightened with fresh grated ginger and a hint of garlic powder, then rounded out with toasted sesame oil for a warm, nutty finish. A quick arrowroot slurry whisked in at the end gives it that classic teriyaki sheen and cling, so it coats vegetables, chicken, or a bowl of rice with real body instead of running thin. The whole thing comes together in one saucepan in under ten minutes, which makes it an easy stir-together for busy weeknights. Because it skips heavily processed bottled sauces in favor of a short, straightforward ingredient list you control from start to finish, it's a solid option to keep on hand for a low histamine kitchen. Store it in the fridge and you've got a ready-made glaze or dipping sauce whenever a meal needs that sweet-savory lift.

Combine the pitted dates and 3 tbsp warm water in a small bowl and let soak for 5 minutes, until the dates are soft enough to mash. Mash with a fork into a smooth paste, then press through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan, discarding any fibrous solids.
Add the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and garlic powder to the saucepan with the date paste. Whisk together until the paste is fully dissolved into the liquid.
