Frequently Asked Questions About Tesco Teriyaki Sauce
How do you use Tesco Teriyaki Sauce?
Use Tesco Teriyaki Sauce to glaze meat, fish, tofu or vegetables, or stir a little through cooked rice or noodles. Add it near the end of cooking so its sweet sauce does not reduce too much or scorch.
Can you use Tesco Teriyaki Sauce as a marinade?
Yes, Tesco Teriyaki Sauce works as a quick marinade for chicken, beef, fish or tofu. Marinate food in the refrigerator, and bring any marinade that touched raw meat to a full boil before using it as a serving sauce.
Can Tesco Teriyaki Sauce be eaten without cooking it?
Yes, Tesco Teriyaki Sauce can be used straight from the bottle as a dip or drizzled over cooked food. Do not serve it uncooked after it has touched raw meat or fish.
What is the difference between Tesco Teriyaki Sauce and soy sauce?
Tesco Teriyaki Sauce is sweeter and thicker than ordinary soy sauce. Soy sauce is mainly a salty seasoning, while teriyaki sauce adds a sweet-savoury glaze to food; they are not interchangeable in equal amounts.
Can you use Tesco Teriyaki Sauce for stir-frying?
Yes, Tesco Teriyaki Sauce can flavour a stir-fry. Cook the meat or vegetables first, then stir in the sauce near the end; its sweetness can make it stick or burn if it is cooked over high heat for too long.
What foods go well with Tesco Teriyaki Sauce?
Tesco Teriyaki Sauce pairs well with chicken, salmon, tofu, mushrooms, peppers and broccoli. Serve the sauced ingredients with rice or noodles for a quick meal, adding the sauce gradually so it does not overpower the other flavours.
Does Tesco Teriyaki Sauce need to be refrigerated after opening?
Yes, refrigerate Tesco Teriyaki Sauce after opening and close the cap tightly. Use a clean spoon when serving to keep food from getting into the bottle, and follow the storage instructions printed on the product.
Can Tesco Teriyaki Sauce be used as a dipping sauce?
Yes, Tesco Teriyaki Sauce can be served as a dip for cooked chicken, tofu or vegetables. Its sweet, savoury flavour is quite concentrated, so you can pour a small amount into a separate dish rather than dipping into the bottle.
How can you make Tesco Teriyaki Sauce less sweet?
To make Tesco Teriyaki Sauce taste less sweet, use a smaller amount and dilute it with a little water or add it to unsweetened ingredients such as vegetables. Avoid adding more sweetener, and taste the dish as you go.
Can you use Tesco Teriyaki Sauce instead of homemade teriyaki sauce?
Yes, Tesco Teriyaki Sauce is a convenient ready-to-use alternative to homemade teriyaki sauce. Homemade sauce lets you adjust its flavour and thickness, while the Tesco sauce is useful when you want to season or glaze food quickly.

What is Tesco Teriyaki Sauce?
Tesco teriyaki sauce is a ready-to-use, Japanese-style sauce with a soy-sauce base and a sweet-savoury flavour. Teriyaki is associated with cooking or glazing ingredients until they have a glossy, well-seasoned coating; a bottled sauce makes that taste easy to add at home.
It is smooth and clingy, with sweetness balanced by savoury depth. Use it in a stir-fry, brush it onto fish or vegetables near the end of cooking, or add a little to a rice or noodle bowl. The sauce is mostly carbohydrate and contributes little fat, so a small amount can bring plenty of flavour. Pair it with fresh vegetables or citrus, or thin it with water for a lighter coating.
