FAQ

Can this go in a shake jar?

No — this one needs a blender or stove, so make it from this page. Jars only carry pour-and-shake sauces.

What do the quantities mean?

Amounts follow the published recipe in household units (with metric in parentheses). On a jar, every sauce scales to the same fill height.

Where did this recipe come from?

Adapted from Hideki Hiwatashi / Great British Chefs (chargrilled lamb teriyaki) (published as “Tare Sauce”). Full citation lives in Provenance.
