Ingredients

  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) tamari or light soy sauce
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) mirin
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) sake
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions

  • Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan.
  • Bring the sauce to the boil, and simmer gently for 5 - 10 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by 1/3.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Strain the sauce into a glass jar, and use immediately or store in the fridge until required.

Notes

This quantity of teriyaki sauce (1/2 cup) is sufficient to marinate 500g of meat, which I find is enough for a large stir fry with lots of vegetables. If marinating larger amounts of meat, you may need to double the recipe.
