Three Ingredient ‘Eel’ Sauce / Sweet Teriyaki; Low-FODMAP, Gluten-free, Vegan

‘Eel sauce’ is a thick and dark soy-based Asian condiment that can be drizzled over eel (natch), sushi  rolls, steamed rice, or any protein you love.  It is sweet and rich and I am completely addicted to it!

What I love most about this recipe is the ease of preparation. Only 3 ingredients!! About 15 minutes!

Plus, it can keep in the fridge for a few weeks at least (or freeze for longer).

You will see I use mirin in the recipe.  That is a Japanese rice wine sweetened with sugar. Make sure you pick a brand without high fructose corn syrup, to keep your tummy happy. It is a staple in my pantry!
