    Teriyaki Marinade

    Published: Jan 1, 2011 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    A well-flavored marinade, this adds an Asian spin to grilled, stir-fried, or sautéd tofu, tempeh, and seitan. It also enhances vegetables, including eggplant, broccoli, green beans, scallions, carrots, and mushrooms. Use it to pan-sauté or grill vegetables and plant proteins. See our Teriyaki Eggplant recipe. Photo by Evan Atlas.

    Makes: About 1 cup

    • ¼ cup reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
    • ¼ cup sake or white wine
    • 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
    • 2 tablespoons natural granulated sugar or agave nectar
    • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or other mild vinegar
    • 1 to 2 cloves crushed or minced garlic, optional
    • 2 teaspoons grated fresh or jarred ginger, or to taste
    • Freshly ground pepper to taste

    Combine all the ingredients in a small container. If using sugar, let stand until it's dissolved. Otherwise, whisk together and use as directed in recipes.

    Transfer any unused portion to a small jar or container and refrigerate.

      This marinade is so easy to make and tastes so much better than store bought teriyaki sauce. I used olive oil and brown sugar because that is what I had and it was still great!

      Made this for our Easter vegan BBQ and was a hit!! Kept the leftover marinade to use as stir-fry sauce. That turned out well too! Made everything extra tasty. I'll be making this one many times to come. Thanks!
