Ingredients
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup light soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup stevia brown sugar substitute
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the pineapple juice, light soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar substitute, honey and sesame oil (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- If using as a marinade, remove from heat and cool to room temperature before pouring over fish or meat.
- If using as a glaze, make the cornstarch slurry by stirring 1 tablespoon of cold water into 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (or arrowroot powder, if you are following a keto diet). Stir to combine the thickening agent. Add to the saucepan of teriyaki sauce and return to a simmer to ensure the sauce fully thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Remove from heat and toss into stir fry, brush over salmon or seafood, or pour over steamed broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds, if using.
Notes
The sesame oil adds a deeply savory, nutty flavor that is irreplaceable in this sugar-free teriyaki sauce recipe. If you have it, I highly recommend using the savory ingredient.
