I Need Help From The Cooking Mavens

[Wonka]

I was making teriyaki sauce for my family yesterday. I use Tamari wheat free soy sauce. I was reading the label of my mirin and discovered that it has wheat in it. What would you use as a substitute? Should I add cornsyrup to Sake to sweeten it up?

I have a great recipe for teriyaki sauce. Use 1/4 c tamari, 1/4 c rice vinegar, and 1/4 cup rice wine (sake), 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp plus 3/4 tsp brown sugar.

Whisk it until the sugar dissolves- if you have one of those magic bullet type things that works really well with getting everything thoroughly mixed.

I served this with beef and broccoli and my husband and I thought it was delicious! It's little thinner than what you find in the bottles, so if you want thicker, add some cornstarch. Enjoy!

I'd get different mirin - it shouldn't have wheat in it.

I was surprised but soy sauce was listed and in brackets next to it was wheat. I've never seen another brand around here but I'll make a trip soon to the T&T Asian Supermarket and see what else they have.

Copy and pasted into my recipe file. Thanks.

I don't think that was mirin. Open Original Shared Link is a sweet rice wine, and should never have soy sauce in it.

That's a bummer if you can't use mirin!!!
