Teriyaki Sauce

We just love this sticky sauce drizzled over poke bowls and especially as a tofu/tempeh marinade! Its versatility lends itself to a variety of dishes or just enjoy it as a simple dip.

Ingredients

Makes enough marinade for 400g tofu (approx.)

  • 50ml/¼ cup soy sauce
  • 75ml⅓ cup mirin
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or 3 tbsp syrup (eg maple or agave)
  • 2cm piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

Instructions

  1. Using a medium-sized non-stick saucepan, heat all the ingredients on a medium heat for around 5 minutes or until the sugar/syrup has dissolved, stirring frequently.
  2. Turn the heat down to low-medium and then allow it to simmer until it thickens (around 5-10 minutes), only stirring occasionally. Make sure the sauce isn’t sticking to the bottom.
  3. You can store the sauce in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze if you’d prefer. If you need to reheat it, then just add a little water.

Serving suggestions: as a marinade for aubergine, as a marinade for tofu or tempeh, Asian salads, Buddha bowls, grain bowls, poke bowls, rice dishes, steamed or roasted vegetables, stir-fries, vegan chicken, vegan fish, vegan sushi

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva! and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition, as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism, but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts – you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
