Making your own vegan and oil free Teriyaki Sauce is a snap! This simple oil free Teriyaki Sauce is whole food plant based and tastes way better than any processed version.
Bottled Teriyaki sauces have lots of added sugar
You’ll never want to buy a bottled Teriyaki sauce again with all its added sugar & even oil. Plus, homemade tastes better! Instead of refined sugar, we use coconut sugar to add a little sweetness without going overboard.
And if you aren’t sure why you should be avoiding oil, even olive oil & coconut oil, check out this post, Why Oil Isn’t Healthy & How to Cook Without It.
