What’s In Low Salt Teriyaki Sauce Recipe?
I love using a mix of easy produce delivery boxes and my favorite pantry staples for all the recipes I make! We try and grow what we can in our garden, but we rely on food delivery as much as we can. Buying groceries online can save on food waste, and be a huge time, money, and sanity-saver as well.
- Pineapple Juice, I used the juice from a can of pineapple that I drained.
- No Salt/Sodium Free Beef Broth – I use this zero sodium beef broth for this recipe, which adds savory flavor to the sauce.
- Brown Sugar: I like to use a dark brown sugar for this sauce because I find it has a really nice flavor.
- Red Wine Vinegar – for a nice tangy flavor and dark color
- Red Chili Flakes: for a little heat!
- Garlic
- Ginger: I love adding fresh or ground ginger
- Low Sodium Soy Sauce or Liquid Aminos – Liquid aminos have a fraction of the sodium, but still a ton of the great flavor of soy sauce. We always keep a few bottles of this in our pantry! It gives a great umami flavor to this dish.
- Corn Starch: the secret to thicken the sauce at the end, it really makes a difference adding it to cold water.
