This Teriyaki sauce recipe is fairly concentrated and intended more for marinading, than used as a
condiment. Diluted with a little more soy sauce and some honey it would be perfect for dipping Tempura vegetables.
I've listed garlic as optional as traditionally in Japanese culture garlic
wasn't used, however it is often found in most Teriyaki sauces today. You could easily add some garlic to half the
recipe and create two small bottles - one of ginger and one garlic styled.
Use the Teriyaki sauce to marinate chicken nibbles, salmon fillet or tofu for the barbecue. Add a few tablespoons to
your burger mix, or drizzle it over a bowl of your favourite noodles.

- Too often we find ourselves grabbing for convenient pre-made mixes,
dressings and sauces, when most of them are extremely easy to make and store at home from scratch. Homemade they are
more economical, tastier and best of all as nature intended without unidentifiable E numbers, long lists of anti-caking
agents, acidity regulators, colours and preservatives.
