Teryaki Sauce
Teriyaki sauce is a sweet, salty, umami-packed glaze made from soy sauce, mirin (or another sweetener), and often a bit of garlic or ginger. It caramelises beautifully when cooked and turns plain ingredients into something bold and satisfying. Keep a bottle in the cupboard or fridge for quick meals — it works with meat, fish, veg and grains.
Why it Works
Teriyaki sauce ticks all the dopamine boxes:
- Sweet and savoury for maximum flavour hit
- Glossy texture that makes everything look more appetising
- Aromatics like garlic and ginger = instant sensory reward
- Sticky finish when reduced — makes everything feel satisfying
It’s quick, shelf-stable (in a bottle or jar), and doesn’t need any prep. Great for fast stir-fries, roasted veg or glazing salmon or chicken.
How to Use it
You can use teriyaki straight from the bottle as:
- A glaze (for roasting or air frying)
- A stir-fry sauce
- A drizzle over bowls and cooked grains
It thickens when cooked, so it’s great for coating protein or veg in a pan. If it’s too salty or strong, you can add a splash of water or citrus to loosen it.
