Notes
- important to use fresh ginger and fresh garlic
- use raw shrimp instead of pre-cooked.
- if you don't like shrimp, use chicken breast. Just cut them into bite sizes.
- instead of honey, you may use brown sugar.
- fish broth: you may replace this with vegetable broth or even use orange juice or water.
- any oil of choice will work. You can use sunflower oil or sesame seed oil.
- cornstarch will help thicken the sauce. You may use another thickener like arrowroot powder.
- serving size is about 1/4 lb of shrimp or about 1/2 cup of cooked teriyaki shrimp
