After tasting this Teriyaki Sauce you may never buy it from the grocery store again. Not only is it super easy to whip up a batch, it is also completely delish as a sauce or a marinade.
Teriyaki sauce has been a part of my life forever. I don’t remember a time that I didn’t love it. You can baste it on chicken or beef while grilling or baking, use it as a stir-fry sauce for veggies, or use it as a marinade to make shish kabobs, which is my personal favorite.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR TERIYAKI SAUCE
Don’t skimp out on the fresh garlic and fresh ginger! If you have never worked with fresh ginger, you have no idea what you are missing out on. Fresh ginger is simply AMAZING!!! OMGosh, nothing else compares to fresh. As for fresh garlic, if you have used that crap in the jar and think you don’t like garlic, well, that’s the problem. That stuff in the jar is so gross. Try fresh. And, try grating it instead of chopping it so you don’t get big bites of it.
