Ingredients You Need
- Low sodium soy sauce – It’s important to use low-sodium or tamari so the level of salt doesn’t get out of control. This sauce is very unbalanced with regular soy sauce.
- Brown sugar – Adds sweetness and thickens the sauce. You can use light or dark.
- Mirin
- Sake – You don’t need an expensive sake for this. Just get a cooking sake, which is about $8.

Equipment Needed
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
Helpful Tips
- Don’t use regular soy sauce or the teriyaki sauce will turn out too salty.
- If you like a thinner sauce, allow it to cook a bit longer.
- If the sauce gets too thick, you can thin it out with some water.
