Many kinds of bottled teriyaki sauce are sold at grocery stores, but basic Japanese teriyaki sauce is very easy to make. To make authentic teriyaki sauce, you need soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. The key ingredient in teriyaki sauce is mirin which adds luster to ingredients when cooking with the sauce. Let's learn how to make teriyaki sauce at home.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
- *(soy sauce : mirin = 1:1)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Stir the mixture well. Put it on medium heat and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for a couple minutes. Stop the heat and cool the mixture. Store the sauce in a clean bottle in the refrigerator. *If you don't have mirin, you can substitute sake and sugar for mirin. The ratio of sake to sugar is 3 to 1. Adjust the amount of sugar, depending on your preference.
