Any Good Teriyaki Sauce Recipes?

Question

My aunt makes a homemade teriyaki sauce that is to die for as a marinade or sauce. However, she does not give out the recipe!!! Not even to her husband. I suppose the recipe will die with her. They live a long ways from me, and whenever I go visit, I have to have some dishes with it. Can anybody give me a recipe that will maybe come close to what she makes. IT is sweet, tastes and smells of garlic, and is a bit syrupy in viscosity. I have never found anything that even comes close in a store. Help!!!!

Answer 1

Shoyu, brown sugar, diced green onions,mirin (japanese sweet cooking sake), & an important ingredient, minced ginger root. Another variation is adding a little oyster sauce also. I put garlic in mine but some people don't. I think what you smell is the ginger root, that is a mandatory ingredient. I think how she gets it syrupy is a lot of sugar & she reduces it a little. Some people add a little water, then cook it down & reduce it. Lots of sugar is good.

Answer 2

I make it as a glaze when pan-sauteing salmon. This was taught to me when I lived in Ichihara, Japan:

You'll need:

Salmon
Some Sesame seed oil
2 parts Soy sauce
3-4 parts Mirin
2 parts Sake

Glaze the pan with the oil, and sear the fish. Reduce the heat, and add the soy sauce, and then the mirin. Turn the fish. Add the sake, and continue to cook the fish. Don't cover it; the teriyaki sauce will thicken as the cooking nears the end.

I sure hope this is like what your aunt makes!

Answer 3

Try this one, it is great

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup *mirin (sweet rice wine) (soy sauce : mirin = 1:1)
2 tbsp sugar

PREPARATION:

Pour all ingredients in a pan. Stir the mixture well. Put the pan on low heat and simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and cool the mixture. Store the sauce in a clean bottle in the fridge.
*You can substitute mirin with sake and sugar (sake:sugar = 3:1) ** Adjust the amount of sugar, depending on your preference.

Answer 6

Soy Sauce + Sugar. All there is to it, in Japan, anyway. Splash some sake into it if you'd like. Garlic? If you must.

Answer 7

1 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup brown sugar, chopped green onions, and the secret is 2 teaspoons of sesame oil.
