I love marinating fish in teriyaki sauce. It adds such a unique flavor. If you have checked out the stuff in the store, these are the type of ingredients you’re likely to find:
- Soy sauce (made with GMO soy beans)
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (made with GMO corn)
- Vinegar (made with GMO corn)
- salt
- spices (code word for MSG, see the whole MSG story here)
- onion powder
- succinic acid (a fermented sugar acid used as a sweetener)
- garlic powder
- sodium benzoate (an additive that is a known carcinogen and linked to hyperactive disorders in children)
First of all that is way too many GMO ingredients for me thank you very much! Plus I like the challenge of making something myself. Start with buying a high-quality unpasteurized soy sauce. I really love Ohsawa Organic Nama Shoyu Unpasteruized Soy Sauce (wow that was a mouthful). They naturally ferment their soy sauce in cedar kegs for four years! It is delicious! You can find it at Whole Foods, or online at Amazon.com. It contains all of the natural enzymes and beneficial bacteria that you would expect from a traditionally produced, raw food.
Homemade Probiotic Teriyaki Sauce
2 tsp ginger, minced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp raw honey
2 Tbsp whey (learn how to make yogurt & whey here)
1 cup Ohsawa Organic Soy Sauce
Mix all ingredients together in a jar. Cover loosely with a cloth and let sit out at room temperature for 24 hours. This will keep for 2 months in the refrigerator.
It makes an excellent marinate for sea food and chicken. I will post a delicious Oriental Tuna Steak recipe tomorrow. Enjoy!

Nama Shoyu is absolutely my favorite too! Opening a bottle of that is like opening fine wine – great aroma! Thanks for this recipe. I think I would use barley malt or rice syrup though, instead of honey.

A great alternative to store bought soy sauce/ teriyaki sauce! Another option is organic tamari sauce.

watch out now about Rice Syrup, there is a recall on the stuff…just letting folks know, that honey maybe safer or barley malt…

no problems! Found out that there was significantly high arsenic levels in rice syrup (something about the concentration of what else was grown in the are, cotton, that caused the problem) But anyway, just avoid until they figure out how to leach the fields of the poison…

I love to eat seafoods because they are very tasty. Seafoods are also very rich in iodine and other salt minerals that you can only get on the sea. :.”.”
Kind regards
