What is Teriyaki Sauce made up of?
Traditional store bought teriyaki sauce has ingredients like soy sauce, wheat, high fructose corn syrup, spices, and preservatives. So, if you’re eating paleo or Whole30, or trying to avoid soy and gluten, those ingredients won’t work.
Not to worry though, this recipe is proof you can easily make your own, so you don’t have to live a teriyaki-free life. 🙂 If you’re looking for a paleo and Whole30 store-bought option, you could try Primal Kitchen’s teriyaki sauce.
Is soy sauce paleo?
No, soy sauce isn’t paleo, so in this recipes I substitute coconut aminos for the soy sauce that is traditionally the base of teriyaki sauce. It works perfectly and gives it great flavor!
