Reading labels at the store can be daunting, especially when you are trying to corral little ones. That is why I try to prepare as much as I can at home so then I know exactly what goes into the food I’m feeding them. This recipe has only 6 common ingredients compared to a bottled sauce including corn syrup and unrecognizable preservatives.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

This kid friendly sauce is very versatile for a marinade AND sauce for chicken, seafood, fish, stir fired vegetables, noodles and rice dishes.

1 cup mirin (cooking rice wine)

½ cup soy sauce or tamari (gluten free soy)

¼ cup honey

1” ginger, sliced

1-2 cloves garlic, smashed

¼ tsp Sriracha sauce

Put all the ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat and simmer 10 minutes. Strain out the garlic and ginger. Sauce will keep covered in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
