I want to make a sauce right now but I don’t have any Sake. I’ve read a few responses here and they’re all over the place with substitutions. I’d like to know what’s the best combination with what I have:
In the photo above I put the ingredients I think are most relevant to making Teriyaki sauce that I have on hand. Also I have white sugar, brown sugar and coconut sugar. Don’t ask why I have two different bottles of Mirin because I couldn’t answer that. LOL
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry don’t know why It came out like crap.

You can use more mirin instead of sake, but then you have to use less sugar.
I’ve often subbed dry white wine for sake when making teriyaki; wine is more acidic, so use 1/2 cup of wine to replace 1 cup of sake. Occasionally I’ve used vinegar in a real pinch; use use 1/4 cup of apple cider or rice vinegar to replace 1 cup of sake.

I use something like this:
* 3 tbsp mirin
* 2 tbsp soy sauce
* 2 tsp brown sugar
You can add more mirin and less sugar (or less mirin and more sugar) according to taste.

A couple more pixels would help, lol

Brown sugar?
