  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil

Tips & Substitutions

For a thicker glaze, simmer the mixture on low heat until it reduces slightly. If you prefer a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. You can also substitute honey for brown sugar or adjust the garlic and ginger to suit your taste. This glaze works wonderfully on Teriyaki Grilled Chicken or in a Fresh Vegetable Stir-Fry.

Serving Suggestions

Use this teriyaki glaze to enhance grilled meats, tofu, or vegetables. It pairs beautifully with Pineapple Spareribs or can be drizzled over a bowl of rice and steamed vegetables for a quick meal. For a complete dinner, serve it alongside a simple salad or your favorite Asian-inspired sides.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover teriyaki glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, gently warm it in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches the desired consistency. This ensures it maintains its flavor and texture.
