How to make your own Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki sauce is a popular condiment known for its versatility and unique flavor. It is a simple and easy-to-make sauce that requires only a few ingredients: soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and water.

One of the best things about teriyaki sauce is its versatility. It can be used for more than just teriyaki chicken, and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. The thinner sauce can be used as a dipping sauce for sushi rolls, a marinade for chicken or beef, or even as a flavoring agent by adding it to cooked rice or salad dressing.

Teriyaki sauce and teriyaki glaze are often used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. Teriyaki glaze is teriyaki sauce that has been reduced further, making it thicker and stickier. The glaze is mostly used for glazing meat or fish.

Making your own teriyaki sauce is easy and can be done in just 5-10 minutes.

Overall, teriyaki sauce is a must-try for anyone who loves Asian-inspired flavors. Its unique flavor and versatility make it a great addition to a variety of dishes, and its easy preparation and long shelf-life make it a convenient option for home cooks. Give it a try and see for yourself!

Store it in the fridge after it cools off it should last for a very long time.
That’s the benefit of not using garlic and ginger, you could even store it in the pantry but better play it safe and keep it in the fridge.
