Notes
- Use Teriyaki Sauce For:
- Variations:
- Make Ahead Instructions: Make this sauce and store it in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.

- The best Teriyaki Burger - add a ring of pineapple and slather teriyaki sauce on top of a Hamburger, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, or Turkey Burger.
- Teriyaki Sauce Marinade: I love to use this as a marinade! Just pour 1/4 cup over raw chicken and let it marinate for 15 minutes (or longer if using chicken breasts).
- Healthy Teriyaki Sauce: Decrease the sugar, to taste.
- No Cornstarch: Use flour for a 1:1 ratio substitute.
- Gluten-free: Make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce.
