It has been nearly 3 years since Mike has had his old fave – chicken teriyaki rice bowl. Its not that I hadn’t tried to come up with my own teriyaki sauce, its just that I suck at it. So I caved and found a recipe online – and? It is DIVINE. Simple, easy, goes with anything (we had it with pork tenderloin over rice), and tastes great!
Thank you very much JuniperNW at RecipeZaar.
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 tablespoons packed brown sugar (I substituted 1/2 splenda)
- 1-2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
Directions – Combine everything except cornstarch and 1/4 c water in a saucepan and put on med-high heat. Combine cold water and cornstarch separately in a shaker. Add liquid to saucepan. Heat until thickened. If it is too thick, you can add a bit of water.
Enjoy!


Sadly, soy sauce does contain wheat (gluten). Just found this out myself today.
Yes, most of the time it does. I have found a brand here (canada) that does not – “no name” of all things, from Canadian Superstore. I think it would be considered ‘fake’ soy sauce by most connoisseurs. but I’m deliriously happy to use it! lol
We are new to the whole gluten free issue, but I have been researching and reading all week about Celiac Disease. I found 1 brand of soy sauce made with soybeans, San-J Organic Tamari. I can’t wait to make this. Thanks so much!!
