Today’s recipe is a yummy sauce that I served over the kalua pork I shared with you yesterday. I served the pork on a bed of rice with some stir fry vegetables and topped it off with this simple orange teriyaki sauce. It was my version of Rumbi’s rice bowl with kalua pork and orange sauce.
I loved the pop of orange flavor in this sauce. My family however, wished I just used regular teriyaki sauce instead. Oh well, at least I appreciated the nice citrus addition to this sauce. This orange teriyaki sauce can also be used in place of the regular teriyaki sauce in the teriyaki chicken rice bowls or oven baked teriyaki chicken thighs.
Here is what you need to make the
Orange Teriyaki Sauce
- CORNSTARCH
- WATER
- SUGAR
- SOY SAUCE
- ORANGE JUICE
- RICE VINEGAR
- GARLIC
- ORANGE ZEST

Gat recipe, thanks for sharing. Had to fudge a bit as I tried late at night in case I had to come up with “Plan B” for dinner tomorrow. Did not have any Rice Vinegar so subb’d Saki and a splash of Red Wine Vinegar and used the juice from a small Orange (out of Orange Juice also). Greta aroma and great taste. Thanks for sharing, and I will be here for a while…

It looks tasty! I never thought about using vinegar to teriyaki sauce, we simmer chicken in a teriyaki with vinegar, that makes meat tender 🙂

Could you marinate the meat in the sauce?
