Sugar Free Teriyaki Sauce

A good keto teriyaki sauce was an essential recipe for me to create. This recipe is sure to make the whole family happy keto or not.

This recipe is a completely sugar-free teriyaki sauce and it tastes amazing. You only need a few of the usual keto pantry ingredients to whip it up.

Make it in bulk or make it just for one. If you look at the top of the recipe card you can use the slider to increase or decrease the recipe based on the number of serves you wish to make.

The Ingredients

Keto Teriyaki Sauce ingredients laid out on a grey table

At a guess, you might already have all the teriyaki sauce ingredients in your pantry to make this.

  • Gluten free Tamari is available in the supermarket. You can substitute coconut aminos.
  • Brown Sweetener – Using brown sweetener gives a caramel flavour to the sauce. If you plan on storing it allulose might be a better option as it doesn’t recrystallise.
  • Xanthan gum is used sparingly as a thickener. To make a teriyaki sauce without xanthan gum use glucomannan powder. It is amazing or cornstarch if you prefer to use a grain.

How to make Sugar Free Teriyaki Sauce

Step 1. Place all the ingredients into a saucepan, microwave-safe bowl and cook over medium heat until slightly thickened.

Once it is made simply add to your favourite stir fry or use to marinate protein overnight.

I have included a Thermomix keto teriyaki sauce recipe for all our thermie fans. It is still incredibly easy and quick to make.

How to Serve It

From keto teriyaki chicken, keto teriyaki salmon or beef teriyaki, all of these are incredibly delicious!. For a keto-vegan teriyaki try with baby corn (yes, it’s low carb), cauliflower and broccoli florets or thick slices of portobello mushrooms for a “meaty” stir fry.

A little can be used for a marinade or simply add to a fast stir fry and heat until sticky and thick. Alternatively, basted over thick salmon or chicken kebabs is a delicious way to serve.

    Served this last night and it was amazing. So fast and so tasty. Every single very fussy person in the house loved it. Was the perfect amount of sauce for 5 serves for us. Would absolutely recommend this with chicken, beef or as a vegetarian meal.
