How to Make Teriyaki Sauce

I found this recipe among a collection of 500 tofu recipes from The Book of Tofu. I thought it was simply wonderful that I could share this recipe with you. It seems like I am always buying different teriyaki sauces from various supermarkets. This recipe is pungent, sweet, salty and absolutely delicious. I know that you will enjoy marinading everything with it, including your fingertips:)

Necessities:

1/4 cup Shoyu (soy sauce) or 6 Tbsp red miso
3 Tbsp sake or white wine
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tsp grated, or chopped gingerroot
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1/4 Tsp dry mustard

Heat the sesame oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, saute for 2 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and decrease the heat to a low simmer. Mix well. Once the sugar has dissolved and the alcohol has been boiled out you are ready to begin the marination process.

Marinate the tofu or vegetables for an hour.


*Note: Dry and prepare the Tofu as stated in previous recipes.

Broil, grill or saute the tofu and enjoy.
