Easy Teriyaki Sauce

September 11, 2018 By Kaitlin McGinn Leave a Comment

Easy Homemade Teriyaki Sauce with garlic & ginger! Sticky, sweet, savory, and it only takes about 10-15 minutes to whip up! (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free)

Glass jar with homemade teriyaki sauce and spoon

This is one of my favorite sauces and it only takes about 10-15 minutes to whip up so let’s get this flavor party started! Teriyaki is a great all-purpose Asian-style sauce for marinating, Vegetable Stir Fry, Noodle Bowls, rice bowls, etc. If you’re brushing it over veggies or tofu, simmer in pan to thicken first as the directions show below. Otherwise, if using for stir-fry, simply mix sauce ingredients together in a bowl, then add to the wok or skillet towards the end of your stir-frying to let thicken with your other ingredients. It’s sticky, sweet, savory and all kinds of delicious!
