FAQ & Expert Tips

Is teriyaki sauce gluten-free?

Not all teriyaki sauce is gluten-free because it's made with soy sauce, which usually contains wheat. To make sure your sauce is gluten-free, use tamari, liquid aminos, or a soy sauce specifically labeled gluten-free.

Prep ahead

This sauce is great to prep ahead. It will last several weeks in the fridge.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge. The sauce will last several weeks.
