Teryaki Sauce

[Guest ~jules~]

Can someone tell me where to find a gluten free teryaki sauce, prefferable a marinade? I can't find one anywhere!

I don't know about pre-packaged teriyaki sauce, but Google turns up all sorts of online recipes for making it yourself.

I seem to remember seeing one at Whole Foods, but really it's extremely easy to mix up your own & probably cheaper. I've never bought the bottled version.

* 1/2 cup soy sauce

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

* 2 tbsp sugar

If you can't find mirin you can use sake & add a bit more sugar. You can even use sherry in a pinch.

Thanks so much! I didn't even think to make my own, ugh! The last week I've been like some crazed scratch cook, I should have thought of just making it, I made my stir-fry tonight, without teryaki for the first time ever, it was okay but just not the same.

I think San-J makes one (not positive).

La Choy soy sauce and teriyaki sauce are gluten free and should be available in any grocery store.

In response to your post. La Choy products have carmel color in them which can be produced from a wheat based product. Generally carmel color is something to avoid. I had a stirfry meal with everything gluten-free except for the La Choy Soy Sauce and I got sick for 3 days. Be careful! You may be poisoning yourself without knowing it!

La Choy soy sauce is indeed gluten-free. Is there anything else you could have reacted to?

If you were using a wok that had been used for non-gluten-free meals in the past, that could have been the culprit. I put both my woks in the oven on the self-clean cycle to burn off all the gluten residue, then reseasoned them by oiling them lightly & baking them at 500 degrees. Worked like a charm!

I had the meal at my boyfriend's apartment. He is able to eat gluten (makes life easier for him doesn't it?) It is true that he used his non-stick pan without cleaning it for me. Maybe I was glutened by him!

Thanks for letting me know that it is gluten free, now I can use it without the after affects.

I am sure he was not trying to intentionally gluten me.

On a lighter note, my boyfriend has come up with a name for when I get sick....."Fire in the Hole!" he calls it. Amusing to say the least, but at least you guys understand what that is like.

I make something very similar, but use honey instead of the sugar, and add ginger and garlic (fresh, not powdered). If you want one of those thick basting sauces, mix it in a small saucepan, heat to boiling, and stir in i tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water.

Hey!

I've made teryaki a couple of times and the way that I do it is I boil about equal parts gluten-free tamari and pinapple juice. Then, when it's boiling, I add some cornstarch mixed with water (a slurry). It thickens up right away and then you can add sugar to taste. I love it and, best of all, it doesn't make me sick. Good luck!

Ooh, that sounds good!
