Homemade Teriyaki Sauce Recipe
Teriyaki Sauce is very easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients and about 10 minutes. I use simple ingredients like low sodium soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, rice vinegar, broth, and cornstarch to thicken it. This is a perfect sauce to add to chicken, salmon, vegetables, wings, and so much more.

Notes
- *Gluten free notes: if you need to make this sauce gluten free, use gluten free sauce sauce, tamari. (Note that coconut aminos is not as good of a substitute in this sauce because soy is such a big part of the recipe.)
- Storing: store cooled sauce in a glass jar with an air-tight lid. Store it in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
- To use some of the sauce: make sure to pour some out instead of scooping it with the spoon. This will ensure that bacteria is not introduced to the sauce by the spoon and extend the shelf life.
