Homemade and easy to make teriyaki sauce.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce is simple and delicious. 

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce pouring from a bottle

I have always used store bought teriyaki sauce.  Never thought anything about it until we ran out.  I decided to make it ourselves and wouldn't you know it....super easy and super delicious!

A tall glass bottle partially filled with a dark brown sauce.

This teriyaki sauce can become really salty tasting.  Here are my tips to avoid that over salty taste:  Use a low sodium soy sauce and don't boil the mixture.  Just bring to a simmer and then remove from heat.  If it's too salty, add ¼ cup additional water and taste.
