This healthy homemade teriyaki sauce recipe produces a sweet and tangy sticky sauce.

Teriyaki sauce originated in Japan, and the name actually refers to a method of cooking and combines the words “teri” that means luster and “yaki” that means grilled or broiled.

This sauce goes well with almost any meat or fish such as chicken, beef, and pork, salmon and tuna and a great dipping sauce for chicken wings, shrimp, steak and tofu. It can be a great accompaniment to rice, noodles and vegetables.
