Notes
Every brand of teriyaki sauce will have a slightly different flavor, but like Kikkoman teriyaki sauce.
It's important that cornstarch is always fully dissolved, with no white streaks left, prior to using. If it's not completely dissolved, there may be lumps in the sauce.
Homemade teriyaki sauce can be stored for a long time, up to 2 weeks, in airtight container in fridge,. Once made, it can be used for teriyaki chicken, teriyaki beef, teriyaki salmon, etc.
