Ingredient and Equipment List
Soy Sauce – You’ll want to use a soy sauce that you like the flavor of, since it’s the main flavor component. If possible, I also recommend a low-sodium variety since the concentrated flavor can sometimes concentrate the saltiness as well. Sugar– White granulated sugar gives this teriyaki sauce its signature sweet flavor and consistency. Vinegar – I suggest a high quality apple cider vinegar with the “mother”, like Braggs. I also make this recipe with rice vinegar and it’s delicious. Avoid all other types of vinegar. Garlic – You’ll use a clove of fresh garlic here. You could substitute garlic powder if you need to, but I do like the flavor and little pieces of the fresh garlic, so if I have it, I use it. Ginger – Unlike the preferred fresh garlic, either fresh or powdered ginger works just fine. I actually prefer powdered, since it distributes well and tastes great. Black Pepper – Freshly cracked black pepper gives flavor and a little bite.
