Easiest Teriyaki Sauce

by Jewel Keeter

We love being able to whip up a good meal, especially one that brings to mind a favorite restaurant dish!  What can take a recipe or dish from good to great is the sauce.  One of our favorites is a Teriyaki dish.  Whether that’s a meat dish or vegetarian this sauce goes so well with either and is so easy to make.  I’ll walk you through how we make our favorite Teriyaki Beef recipe, but the sauce works great on veggies, chicken, rice, or pretty much anything else!
