Equipment
- 1 small saucepan
Ingredients
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp. honey (optional)
- 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 tsp. freshly grated ginger (or ¼ tsp. ground ginger)
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced (or ½ tsp. garlic powder)
Ingredients for the Slurry
- 2 tbsp. water
- 2 tbsp. arrowroot or tapioca starch (corn starch works too)
Instructions
- Add ½ cup water, coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small sauce pan. Whisk ingredients until combined.
- Simmer on med-low for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce is simmering, create the slurry. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp. water and arrowroot (or tapioca) starch. Add this to the sauce pan after you have allowed the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Continue to whisk until desired consistency is reached. I like the sauce to be able to fully coat a spoon when dipped.
- Remove from heat and use as desired.
Notes
- If vegan, you can sub pure maple syrup or coconut sugar for the honey. Or omit all together for sugar free.
- I use arrowroot or tapioca starch for the slurry, but corn starch can be used too. If wanting Paleo, use either tapioca starch or arrowroot starch.
- Recipe makes about 1 cup teriyaki sauce. Nutrition information is based on total recipe.
- Sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
