Many restaurants nowadays are jumping on the bandwagon of this new “hot trend” and looking to make some extra dough without actually taking the time to do some simple research and developing a truly gluten free menu.
One place that does get it right is P.F. Changs (Chinese food). Not only do they have a dedicated section of their kitchen for gluten free dishes, they also serve all gf dishes on round plates that way it’s very easy to distinguish a gf dish from a non-gf dish.
When you’re not in the mood to go out to P.F Changs and you’re craving gluten free teriyaki chicken, this is a great go-to dish sauce that you can whip up in no time at all.

In case you have a sensitivity to gluten or have a history of Celiac disease, which is also known as intestinal disease, rather than giving up, you should be a little cautious about consumption of teriyaki. You have to seek for teriyaki sauce that is the least harmful for your body or to make it on your own.
Source of Gluten in the food:
Packaged or bought sauces more or less contain gluten as soy sauce is one of its ingredients. Soy sauce contain salt, water, wheat and soybeans. These wheat and soybeans are the source of gluten. Commercially prepared soy sauce contains gluten-flavours. Sauce, whether homemade or restaurant made, are not gluten free as they contain flour or other agents to thicken the sauce.
Considerations:
If, it is not clear from the package whether the product is gluten free or not, manufacturer’s website should be checked. If necessary, they should be asked over phone. Because even a little amount of gluten, may cause sickness to the person suffering from celiac disease. Preparation of teriyaki is impossible without soy sauce, so, give up the desire for restaurant made teriyaki and make it at home so that you can control the ingredients.
