This Top 9 Free Teriyaki Marinade Sauce is the Perfect Sauce

Soy Free Teriyaki Marinade is a super easy and fast sauce recipe for those with top 9 allergies. It makes a quick flavourful sauce for meat and vegetables to add variety to family dinners and meals. In addition to soy, wheat, top 9 allergens free, this is a gluten free Teriyaki sauce, as well.

Why We Like This Recipe

This Soy Free Teriyaki Marinade makes it easy to have a pantry with staples that can be made into different meals. Many of the manufactured teriyaki marinades can have shared lines and facilities with tree nuts, peanuts, or sesame. We also find that we buy our coconut aminos in larger amounts to save a bit of money.

This kind of Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce recipe allows us flexibility to make many meals with different flavours so our food stays interesting. There is nothing worse than not having a bit of variety on a reduced food options due to food allergies.

The Ingredient Low Down

Coconut Aminos

We use coconut aminos in any recipe where soy sauce would traditionally be used like this Soy Free Teriyaki Marinade. It can be a touch sweeter than soy sauce. Coconut aminos are made from fermented coconut sap.

If you cannot have coconut, see if tamarind based no soy no gluten sauces are right for you. Ensure it is Tamarind and not tamari. Tamari is soy based. San-j has a tamarind based no-soy sauce. Check with the manufacturer for shared lines and facilities and other allergy protocols before deciding if a product is right for you.

Garlic & Ginger

We use fresh garlic and ginger for our Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce but if they can be swapped out for the dried and powdered ginger and garlic. Do not use garlic salt, consequently it will make the sauce too salty.

Unseasoned Rice Vinegar

Unseasoned rice vinegar is best for this recipe. It is not sweetened. Apple cider vinegar could be used in place, if needed for allergies. ACV will change the taste slightly.

Honey or Brown Sugar

We like the flavor depth that honey gives this Gluten Free Teriyaki marinade.Equally, brown sugar can be used instead of honey.

Honey, however, may not be suitable for all for allergy and ethical reasons such as a vegan lifestyle. Brown sugar is a great swap for honey. Maple syrup can also be used, if preferred.

Avocado Oil

We use avocado oil, which has a high cooking point. If you switch out the oil for another neutral oil, make sure it has a high enough smoke point for the dish you’ll be cooking since it may have a lower cooking temperature recommendation.

Mirin (optional)

Mirin is a Japanese variety of cooking wine made from rice. It can however be omitted if it is not suitable for your dish, allergies, or lifestyle. This ingredient adds flavour to the Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce and the taste may change slightly if omitted.

Instructions/ Directions and Tips

1- Measure all ingredients in a small bowl.

2- Mix the sauce with a spoon.

3- Store in the fridge or use to marinade meat, mushrooms, or vegetables.

Hint: If you do a lot of food prep the Teriyaki Sauce with Coconut Aminos can be made up and frozen in smaller portions to suit your recipes or with the prepped vegetables in freezer safe containers.
