About Teriyaki dressing

Teriyaki dressing is a flavorful sauce originating from Japanese cuisine, traditionally made from ingredients such as soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and ginger. It is commonly used as a marinade, glaze, or dressing for meats, vegetables, and rice dishes. Nutritionally, teriyaki dressing typically contains carbohydrates from the sugar or honey added, and sodium from soy sauce. While it contributes flavorful additions to a dish, its sugar and salt content can be considerable depending on the recipe. Commercial varieties may also include preservatives, stabilizers, or additional enhancers, varying its nutritional profile. It is best consumed in moderation within a balanced diet.

Health Benefits

• Contains ginger, which is high in antioxidants such as gingerol, helping reduce inflammation.
• Soy sauce, a core ingredient, provides small amounts of protein and some minerals like potassium and magnesium.
• Mirin, a sweet rice wine, may offer traces of B vitamins, such as B1 and B2, supporting energy metabolism.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains soy, gluten (depending on soy sauce), corn (if thickened with cornstarch)

Suitable for: Omnivorous diets, flexitarian diets, vegetarian diets (if no animal-based stock is added)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets (unless gluten-free soy sauce is used), low-sodium diets, low-sugar diets

Selection and Storage

Store teriyaki dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use homemade versions within 1-2 weeks to ensure freshness and flavor.

Common Questions About Teriyaki dressing Nutrition

Is teriyaki dressing high in calories or sugar?

Teriyaki dressing is typically high in calories and sugar due to its ingredients, which often include soy sauce, sugar (or honey), and sometimes cornstarch for thickness. On average, 2 tablespoons of teriyaki dressing can contain 45-60 calories and approximately 8-10 grams of sugar. Always check the label for specific values as recipes vary.

Can I eat teriyaki dressing on a keto diet?

Traditional teriyaki dressing is not keto-friendly as it contains significant amounts of sugar and carbs. However, there are keto-friendly versions available that use sugar substitutes like stevia or erythritol. Be sure to read the nutrition label and choose options with low net carbohydrates.

Is teriyaki dressing vegan or vegetarian-friendly?

Most store-bought teriyaki dressings are vegetarian and vegan as they primarily contain plant-based ingredients like soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar. However, some may include honey or animal-derived additives, so always check the ingredient list to ensure compatibility with your dietary needs.

What is a recommended portion size for teriyaki dressing?

A standard serving size for teriyaki dressing is typically 2 tablespoons (30ml). This amount adds flavor without overloading on calories, sugar, or sodium. If you're monitoring your intake, start with less and adjust to taste.

How does teriyaki dressing compare to soy sauce in nutrition?

Teriyaki dressing is generally sweeter and more calorie-dense than soy sauce due to added sugars. While soy sauce contains about 10 calories and nearly zero carbs per tablespoon, teriyaki dressing can have 20-30 calories and 4-6 grams of sugar per tablespoon. Soy sauce also lacks the sweetness, making it more sodium-forward in flavor.
