This healthier, gluten free version or this staple sweet and savory sauce finishes any asian inspired meal perfectly, without the store-bought filler ingredients, extra sugar and artificial/natural flavors
Equipment
Ingredients
this yields about 1/2 cup of teriyaki for marinating or dressing two meals. If you LOVE a lot of sauce, consider doubling!
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tsp ginger freshly grated
- 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar dark or light
- 1 tsp water
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch
- optional: sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan add all ingredients except water and arrowroot starch. Whisk until well combined and let it begin to simmer on medium heat and form small bubbles around the edge.
- Meanwhile add water and arrowroot starch to a small prep bowl and mix until it turns into a milky liquid.
- Once the sauce is simmering add the milky liquid, lower heat and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, reduces and begins to foam a little on the top.
- Once the mixture coats the back of a spoon, take off heat (it will continue to thicken as it cools). Once cooled, add to a small jar and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Separation is normal, shake well or reheat before using.
