The Best Homemade Teriyaki Sauce Recipe (Make It Just Because) Sauces/Condiments
Why would you want to make homemade teriyaki sauce when you can buy it already prepared at the store? Because everything (almost!) is better made from scratch. Also, am I the only one that thinks bottled teriyaki sauce is just way too salty? This teriyaki sauce recipe uses low-sodium soy sauce, so it's a lot less salty tasting. And, you can adjust the amount of each ingredient to fit your personal preferences.
Use this Asian sauce on chicken, fish, steak, pork, shrimp, rice, rice noodles and as a dip for spring rolls, egg rolls, potstickers, dumplings or gyoza.
