Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

Adapted slightly (no alcohol) from Adam Liaw’s easy, wonderful Teriyaki sauce.

According to Adam this sauce can survive in or out of the fridge "for years", but it won't need to last that long, as it is so tasty and versatile.

This homemade teriyaki sauce is a must-have in my kitchen. It takes just a minute to make, but is a shortcut to dozens of dishes – many of which aren’t even teriyaki dishes. Teriyaki in Japanese is made from the characters teri 照 (glazed/shiny) and yaki 焼 (grilled/fried), so teriyaki is essentially a glaze that is applied to something grilled or fried.

This base sauce contains less than a third of the sugar of many commercial sauces, and although it may look very watery it reduces to a shiny glaze in the pan, coating your ingredients.
