teriyaki sauce (true japanese)
This is so easy to make, four ingredients is all you need, and like people's secret BBQ sauce or secret burger sauce, the Japanese too have their ways to make their own signature homemade teriyaki sauce. American teriyaki sauce normally includes grated or powdered ginger and or garlic, Japanese does not. I made this when my wife returned from Japan, she brought the sake with her. I had her taste a import sauce, then what I made, she said the import tastes like soy sauce and garlic, said throw that away, then what I made, perfect!
