Easy Vegan Teriyaki Sauce Recipe

This Vegan Teriyaki Sauce Recipe is so ultra simple, that you won't believe it! It goes perfectly with noodles and rice and is a great staple recipe for your kitchen.

Vegan Teriyaki Sauce

Oh, and did I mention the Vegan Teriyaki Sauce Recipe is also super delicious and borderline addictive too? No, well, then it's probably time, so here we go! Seriously though, once you've made a homemade teriyaki sauce, you won't go back! 

I've recently been loving this sauce. It's so versatile and is really quick and easy to make, which makes it a super delicious but low-effort option for a quick and easy vegan dinner.

Ingredients

The ingredients for this sauce are fairly simple:

• Tamari: using tamari instead of regular soy sauce makes the sauce gluten free, it adds the salty flavour to the teriyaki sauce
• Maple syrup: this will wonderfully caramelise in the pan and add some sweetness to the salty soy sauce
• Ginger & garlic: ideally use fresh produce, finely diced, they add a delicious flavour to the sauce as well as a light tang
• Chilli: of course you can use fresh diced chilli, however, I prefer chilli powder as I find it mixes better into the sauce. If you don't like it spicy, just leave it out!
• Cornflour: the cornflour will help thicken the sauce when heated up in the pan, ensuring it'll perfectly stick to the rest of your ingredients and create that delicious teriyaki coating on your veggies & co.

Instructions (Step-by-Step)

Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in a small bowl, but be sure to add the cornflour last. Then, using a whisk mix it all together until everything has dissolved evenly into the liquids. 

Next, prep all your favourite veggies and put the teriyaki sauce in a saucepan on medium heat along with other ingredients you'd like to coat in the sauce (I like to add some Oumph! pieces for example!). Stir the sauce continuously as the sauce gets thick and then take it off the heat after a minute or so. 

That's it, it really is just that easy! 

Serving

As I've already outlined - this sauce is perfect with a variety of different ingredients in so many combinations. I've found that both rice and noodles work perfectly.

For the bowl that you can see in these pictures, I have combined the sauce with soya noodles, Oumph 'The Chunk' (which basically tastes like plant-based chicken style pieces), carrot and broccoli.

In general, I think vegan chicken pieces add a great texture to a dish, so feel free to use your favourite chicken-style replacement and serve your favourite stir-fried veggies alongside.
