Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki sauce is a symbol of Japanese flavors around the world, and at Tam Afarin we produce it using completely natural, locally sourced ingredients. An authentic teriyaki sauce must strike a perfect balance between the saltiness of soy sauce and a rich, caramelized sweetness.

In preparing our teriyaki sauce, we rely on three main pillars:

1. High-quality soy sauce
2. Sweetened rice syrup, which not only adds the necessary sweetness but also contributes to the final thickness of the sauce and creates a glossy, caramelized coating on food after heating
3. Brown sugar along with ginger and garlic extracts, which add a fresh, mildly spicy character that creates a pleasant contrast with the sweetness of mirin.

After cooking, teriyaki sauce should easily cling to the surface of meat or vegetables and remain stable without burning or breaking down during heating. For this reason, we use a gentle reduction technique to evaporate excess water and activate the natural sugars in the sauce.

In addition, we use a very small amount of potato starch to stabilize the texture and enhance the final shine, helping to create a smooth, glossy coating. This sauce is highly versatile and can be used to enhance fried rice, as a finishing sauce for noodles, in cooking chicken and meat, or even as a thick dipping sauce for dumplings.
