all those ingredients makes me wonder if I have tried real teriyaki sauce lol

Here in Okinawa, especially working in a resteraunt our house blend is unrefined rock sugar, salt, mirin, awamori (a type of local rice wine) and tamari. Tamari is a type of thicker less refined soy sauce that often comes as a by-product from making miso. Awamori is not something you'll find outside Okinawa, and the rock sugar we uses adds a milder and cleaner taste, not to mention the tamari has a richer umami flavour. This teriyaki we often glaze on fish or pork, local favourites in comparison to unagi and beef or chicken more common on Honshu, the main island.

My Japanese mother in law taught me. Soy sauce, sugar, sake, garlic and ginger. Best I’ve ever had

i just do dark soy sauce, normal soy sauce, shallots, ginger and sugar. that taste just fine.

All I have to do now is go buy ginger, sake and mirin. Or just buy a bottle of teriyaki sauce at the store.

but also some unrefined Japanese cane sugar. that is a really important point.

This may come as a shock... But there are no ginger or garlic in teriyaki sauce. Soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, salt. That's it.

Never use olive oil in Asian cooking especially for sauces and wok work ..... its too floral and a poor medium

"Now add equal parts sake, mirin, and soy." I have exactly one of those, and I've routinely seen people say the soy sauce(and olive oil) I buy in the store is probably not legitimate, so I have exactly none of those.

2 tablespoon sake, 2 or 2 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoon mirin, 1 or 2 tablespoon sugar: this is authentic Japanese teriyaki

Teriyaki Sauce Recipe Ingredients: - 1 knob of ginger - 2 cloves of garlic - 2 tablespoons of oil - 1/3 cup of sake - 1/3 cup of mirin - 1/3 cup of soy sauce - 2 tablespoon cornstarch - 3 tablespoon water - 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds Instructions: 1. Start by peeling your ginger and garlic. Chop the aromatics into very fine pieces. 2. Next, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of oil into a pot and drop in your finely chopped garlic and ginger. On low heat, let the garlic and ginger bloom and become fragrant. 3. After about few minutes, add in equal parts of sake, mirin, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and let the alcohol cook off. This will take about 5 minutes on medium heat. 4. Once the sauce has reduced, mix together the corn starch and water in a small bowl. 5. Drizzle in your corn starch slurry and give it a mix. Your teriyaki sauce should become nice and thick as it bubbles. 6. Finally add in about 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. Stir to combine. 7. Once the sauce is cooled store in an air tight jar. Keep in the fridge until you are ready to use! Shop this reel here: Mason Jars: amzn.to/4crNhir Hexclad Pot: amzn.to/3KxnucE

You can put in your sauce whatever you want, make it however you want as long as it's what you like. Now a recipe: Mix equal parts sugar, Mirin, Soy sauce(preferably light), Sake. Put the mixture in a pot and reduce it to roughly half on low heat. You want to have some of the alcohol left in the sauce and no caramel. Use the sauce in the last minute or two to glaze your meat, fish or veggies when grilling or broiling. That will make the meat shine and give it that savoury sweetness. Teriyaki is a combination of the word 'to shine' and grilling/broiling/frying and a cooking TECHNIQUE. That aside, wanna use it for dipping? -Do as described in the video! Don't want alcohol in your food? -Eat something else...Sake and Mirin are rice wines and soy sauce does contain a tiny portion of alcohol itself.

Sake and mirin already make this harder to find and more expensive to buy than just a regular bottle of teriyaki

Following your teriyaki sauce and chicken video a while ago, I have started making my own teriyaki sauce and i have never looked back Thanks for the idea and recipe!

I think most people don't carry sake or mirin. And while it's easy to buy, it's also easy to just buy teriyaki sauce.

Omgosh! This is great information, thank you for sharing ❤

You can replace sake with rice vinegar. You cook it for 20 to 30 min instead. Gives a nice sour flavor (And the teriyaki contains less alcohol).

That's a fancy one. I just use those 3 liquids in the middle plus a 1/3 part sugar for thickening.

Instead sake, I just add a little brown sugar, but everything else is yes so good love it

Spend $30 on ingredients I'll rarely ever use on anything else vs buy a premade bottle that will taste only slightly worse... hmm

I've been using your recipe for quite a few years now. and for pretty much anything - stir fry, noodles, deeps, sandwiches, homemade food in general. the only thing I've changed was to add about 1-2 tbs of honey to increase the sweetness, works like a charm :)

Im in love with your content!!❤❤❤

Thank you for your always great works Steph unnie❤

Olive oil…. For teriyaki sauce….

This is great thank you sir!

now I'm hungry, thanks for the simple recipe.

Absolutely epic recipe. Can’t recommend it enough. I’ve done it twice and it’s finished pretty fast.

That's one thing I never buy store bought. It's easy to make & it tastes way better.

'slice up some garlic' too hard i'm already passed out

Olive oil? I wouldn't recommend it since it's not a neutral one and won't work well with asian flavours.

I worked at a japanese chain restuarant that used green apples and tonkatsu sauce with the soy, ginger and garlic. With some added sugar it was super sweet and fruity. Still my favorite teriyaki.

Love it! Thanks!

I saw your full video on this and I've been making it for my family all the time but I did modify your teriyaki a little bit instead of chopping the garlic and ginger I use a zester and I really get it super fine and I also use a little less soy sauce or like a third mirror and a third sake and like a quarter soy sauce just because it's a little strong for the kids they wanted a little sweeter so I also add some sugar and it has been a staple in our house ever since

"Dunk a Lunk" lol...I love it! Great recipe!

No sugar and using olive oil for Asian sauce? 😛

If you don’t have that many ingredients just use soy sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar. Works very well.

I’m very allergic to soy and like making my own teriyaki with coconut aminos instead!

Any video that starts with "You know how easy it is to..." ends up being about 10 times more effort than I would have hoped.

This sounds so close to Rie's Tebasaki sauce from the tasty chicken episode. I always make her recipe so this really sounded familiar! Anyways I enjoy that sauce, so yours is most likely nice too.

Just a word of caution for people intending on prepping stuff like this: garlic can be dangerous, particularly in oil but generally in anything where it's not getting oxygen, so store it in the fridge and preferably not for long. This popped up on Reddit recently after Google's AI thingy started telling people to infuse garlic oil at room temperature, but probably applies to any garlic thing you could try to preserve at home, just like canning pasta and thickened soups (don't). However, it could be a great way to grow a botulism culture if you for some odd reason need that

Regular shopping trip, pick bottle off shelf, put in basket,.

Im pretty sure its easier buying it 😂 this quickly escalated damn. I like this guys videos and have for years I was just making something you may know as a “joke”

Already added this to my recipes!👏🏻

HOW’S NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE SINGLE PORRIDGE OAT IN THE SAUCEPAN?😭😭😭

Sure, easy. I have to buy all these ingredients I'm not going to use for anything else (other han the soy sauce), then its shelf life is like 1/10th as long as store bought... it does look delicious though.

Garlic and ginger. vinegar and soy sauce. I will make my next chicken dish w this. A few weeks ago i figured i could just use my normal chicken marinate for frying (salt n turmeric) and then put on some honey while cooking/sauteeing to make honey chicken. Why did i thought cooking was so hard. Lol

Just add sake, mirin is supposed to be sake & sweetener, but it is lower than lowest quality. If you are stuck on added sugar, there is this stuff you can buy called sugar.

Warning to all those making this recipe: Add 2 - 3 parts sugar before adding the Cornstarch. I made this recipe and it was INSANELY SOUR. Imagine the most rancid tasting sour candy imaginable. I had to add so much sugar just to get it to a palletable level AFTER it was already done. So, be sure to add enough sugar so its no longer sour and salty

Yes, I have made it twice this week but in the microwave.

Switch out cornstarch for arrowroot for a clearer sauce.

THANK YOU!! 🧡

I don’t use teriyaki sauce, but I enjoyed watching how to home-make them.!

No olive oil👎🏼 sesame oil👍🏼❣

Thanks for sharing a fresh and tasty sauce👍

**I made this to according to his recipe several times, it's very good. I prefer low sodium soy sauce really only for this recipe.

I worked in a Japanese steak house that is pretty popular and had a few chain locations and I can tell you this is not even close to what we put in our Terryaki

I used to make this stuff in 20 gallon batches I ran a Japanese restaurant That was owned by a Korean man lol anyways when he taught me his recipe it hadd sugar in it and we also put whole onions in and strain them out later

Now I remember why I had Sake in the fridge, it wasn't for Bulgogi it was for the Teriyaki sauce... Oh boy.

yo wtf i have that same knife. I absolutely love it and it’s my favorite thing ever. Looks sick and is so nice to cut with

Broo ,the best recipe It’s nice tasty,smell and colour And the point is to fast and cheap Well done Keep doing 👏👏💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

So all those ingredients are sitting right next to the teriyaki sauce in the Asian grocers. I'll just buy it and save me the time. Lol

Don't use olive oil. Also, dry toast your sesame seeds before adding.

I do mirin, light brown sugar, soy, garlic, msg.

Did anyone else understand immediately why they buy it instead?

Buing sake, mirin and soy costs like 3-5$ per bottlöe, sop II would not bother. Just buy the 4$ teriaki sauce.

honestly it's exactly as easy as I would have expected

I’ll make this except I won’t fry the garlic and ginger so they can be more aromatic. Super Finely chopped garlic in a sauce like that is great no need to cook for me. Cool video 👍

How long can you preserve the sauce? And how long if you sub the liquor? If I'm going to make the recipe it should be in bulk. It looks really good!

I didn’t know people bought teriyaki. My mom always made it with equal parts soy sauce, white cooking wine, and sugar, and add in as much garlic ginger pepper flakes and sesame as you want. Opt thicken with corn starch. We called it Teri-yummy sauce.

It's easier to buy Teriyaki Sauce, than find Mirin and Sake at my place...

I would never use that oil but then again one time when I didn’t have the right vinegar I used red wine vinegar and regretted it immensely.

Man can't wash his pots properly 😂

" dunk - a - lunk " im for sure going to use that phrase.

Olive Oil in Asian dishes? Try sunflower, peanut, or sesame(light) oil to avoid adding olive flavor to the sauce.

Doesn’t corn starch reheat poorly? I would skip the starch & just hold as a looser sauce. You can always add starch when you’re cooking with it.

If you use cheap mirin you don't need sugar. But if you are using the real stuff, use some sugar to balanced it out!

You are forgetting the balance ingredient, sugar. This salty mix needs balance with some type of sweetness

Nice sauce 👍 I like how you implement your own personality and creativity into your food very inspiring to all women who partners are already great cooks but we need to brush up our skills to 🤗well I do

Didnt you miss sugar?

I do! It's only three equal ingredients: Sugar, Soy Sauce, and White Vinegar. You can saute some garlic and sesame seeds first in some sesame oil if you like. There are no other required ingredients. If you want you can sub Miran for the sugar. You don't have to though. It makes no difference. Rice wine vinegar can be used if you want it to be slightly smoother than traditional as well.

You can mince garlic with your knife and some salt but yea nice.

If you’re gonna do it Seattle style like at Toshi’s Mix in 1.5 tbsp of brown sugar and 2 TBSP of honey to get that Seattle sweet savory tang

Just some tips from a professional cook. The sauce is supposed to be thicker. You need to reduce it more. When you add the slurry it has to be added lil by lil in order to make it more thicc

This needs rock sugar or something to add sweetness..also you should really use a neutral oil rather then olive oil

Mirin 150ml bottle is £4.99 and a cooking sake 150ml bottle is £6.49 and that’s for starters. I can buy 150ml of teriyaki sauce for £1.50. I wonder if you make your own ketchup too.

Olive oil??? I would use something more neutral tasting like vegetable or canola.

Teriyaki sauce is actually made from mirin, sake, soy sauce and some sugar! Or you can get unagi sauce and add sake, simmer for a few minutes or until the alcohol evaporates. I learned this from a Japanese chef. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

yes i do. i made my own for years

I never thought olive oil goes well with Teriyaki sauce.

Add orange juice to the mixture, it gets a higher level!!!

This was one of the first things my gf taught me when we got together. And I love it to this day

It also takes 30 seconds and $3 to buy one from the shop

Question: How long is the sauce safe to eat if stored in a fridge and cupboard, respectively?

So I made this sauce the other day, as per your recipe, but instead of 1 cup Mirin and 1 cup Sake, because I didn't have those, I used 2 cups of dry white wine and some brown sugar lol 😅 might be sacreligious, but my husband liked it. 🤷‍♀️

Pretty much anything you can buy, you can make at home. Even things like Cheetos can be made at home. All these things started small before they needed to be scaled up.

Yeah some ppl thought I was kidding when I said I never bought teriyaki sauce as an Asian person

The amount of work and ingredients makes me appreciate store baught teriyaki sauce from the Asian store for $3.

Homeaid vs Homemade Homemade: 8 ingredients, 20 steps. Homeaid: step 1 - buy store bought sauce

Dunk uh lunk! Legit... I'm totally using that!

Olive oil will completely ruin this sauce. Use a traditional sauce like groundnut oil or sesame. It will taste more authentic.
