YUMMY!!!! I used this for a chicken stir-fry. I cooked the chicken in a little sesame oil, added my veggies, then poured this sauce over all and let simmer for a few min. until thickened. OUTSTANDING!!! Only thing I changed was that I added a bit more garlic (well, ok, A LOT more garlic), and some crushed balck pepper. This is such a simple and versatile recipe! Thanks so much Theresa!! ~Manda

I was missing some of the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce that I usually make, so I looked up some other recipes and came across this one. This was easy to make and I had all the ingredients on hand. I used this recipe to make Mirj's Funky Chicken Funky Chicken With Sesame Noodles. Thanks for posting!

I don't buy bottled teriyaki sauce, so I can't compare, but I did like this homemade version. I followed the recipe exactly except that I used two cloves of garlic instead of one. I used this for a stir-fry. A tasty sauce, not very strong. Next time I might use less water and more tamari. I made it the night before and it turned into quite a thick "jelly" sort of consistency, but when I added it to the stir-fry it melted down and it wasn't too thick after all. Good sauce, thanks for the recipe!

I'm giving this 5-stars, but with a warning!! I made this to go on some roast pork (with Kittencal's amazing pork marinade, which is here on RZ), but didn't have any fresh ginger. Well, stupidly, because the recipe said a Tbl of fresh ginger, I used a Tbl of powdered ginger - and it WAY too much - not only because the flavor was overpowering but also because that (and the garlic I suspect) ended up making the sauce very spicy! TOO spicy!! So, I tried to water it down with soy sauce - then it was too salty - and so then some apple juice and some more brown sugar (4 Tbl in total) - anyway, I rescued it, and it was fine - and I will definitely make it again, exactly as instructed - but seriously, if using powdered ginger, maybe use 1/4 tsp, that will be plenty! And even if that ends up not being enough, it's much easier to add more than to take it away!! Will definitely make this again though - properly next time! UPDATE: Just made this last night, and it is definitely worth five stars - everyone loved it. Unlike last time, this time I just used 1/2 Tsp of ginger, and 1/2 Tsp of garlic powder, and threw in an extra Tbs of brown sugar, as others suggested, and I think it was absolutely perfect, so thank you!

Great sauce! I used this on (ground) chicken burgers. Made as directed, but added extra garlic, ginger, and black pepper. I also added a little pineapple juice. I will make this again.

Just the recipe I've been looking for! I have a number of good Teriyaki recipes that are excellent for marinating but seemed to miss when thickened. I had been looking for one similiar to the sauce served over a dish I enjoy when eating out. Now I can enjoy this right here at home! Great sauce!

Tried this wonderful sauce with ribs. Excellent. I placed baby back ribs, meatside down in a pan, poured on some of the sauce and covered with tightly with foil. Baked for 1 hour. Remove the foil and turn ribs over to brown for a few minutes. Superb!!! Thanks for a wonderful recipe Theresa.
