Easy Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

July 2, 2017 by DanicasDaily 4 Comments

Happy Sunday all! Today we were up early to head to the Alameda Antique Fair. We go for The Husband to find “things” but it’s a great way to get in steps. We picked up Starbucks on the way and I had 1/2 a breakfast burrito at the fair. On the way back we stopped at Jack’s Urban Eats for lunch. I was really torn between soup & salad so I decided on both. I totally blame the cold I now have as the reason soup sounds good on a summer day. I couldn’t finish my salad. The Husband was in charge of dinner tonight, all I had to do was marinate everything last night.

Have you ever made your own Teriyaki sauce before? It’s super easy. I got this recipe from one of my friends in college and it has forever been my go-to. Just remember 1/3, 1/3, 1/3.

Whisk together 3 things:

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • If you want to get fancy, add 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 Tbsp grated ginger, a splash of Mirin (Sweet Japanese Wine) & a dash of crushed red pepper flakes.

Thats it. I use this on all types of meat and in veggie stir fries often. I whipped up a batch last night to marinate the tritip for our Teriyaki Beef Bowls tonight.

Daily Snap Recap:

B: 1/2 Bacon, Ham, Egg, Pico De Gallo & Salsa breakfast burrito (6 sp)

S: Grande iced Nonfat Latte with caramel on top (3 sp)

L: @Jacks Urban Eats – Chinese Chicken Salad (6 sp), 1 cup Turkey Vegetable Soup (3 sp)

S: 1 cup watermelon

D: 2 oz Teriyaki Tri Tip (2 sp), 1/2 cup Trader Joe’s Organic Brown Rice with 1/2 Tbsp Land O Lakes Whipped Butter (1 sp) and s&p (4 sp), 1 cup summer squash & mushrooms (0 sp)

24 Daily Smartpoints, 13K steps – I may not hit my target of 30 Smartpoints today but I’m ok with that as I am not going to eat my points just because they are there as I’m not hungry.

I love long weekends & having 2 more days off.

Night all!
