Ingredients
Vegan Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sugar (I use coconut sugar)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or sub white vinegar)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp freshly grated ginger (or sub 1/4 tsp dried ginger powder)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (can sub flour)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for spice (optional)
- 1/4 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Vegan Teriyaki Sauce
- Whisk together 1 tbsp of cornstarch (or flour) and the water and set aside.
- Add all other ingredients to a pot and bring to a low boil.
- Whisk in the cornstarch (or flour) mixture and let simmer over low heat until thick.
- Begin with 1 tbsp cornstarch and add an additional 1/2 tbsp if the sauce isn't thickening enough. It thickens more as it cools, so avoid adding too much!
- Whisk occasionally to prevent any clumps from forming.
- Serve with stir fry, tofu, or any or your favourite asian-inspired meals!
