Chef Tips: Making Great Teriyaki Sauce
Be sure to start with the prescribed amounts in this recipe and reduce the liquids in half, its a way to ensure that you have extracted enough flavor while also concentrating the flavor. While you can make this according to the recipe we provided, we normally make this in larger quantities. You can freeze or refrigerate this sauce to have it available at another time. This sauce is versatile and we find ourselves using it at least once a week for a variety of the meals we make at home. Having it available for use makes week night meals a cinch to make, which is especially nice for busy schedules.
Be sure to use a sauce pot that is large enough to hold all the ingredients, I use a stainless sauce pot for this recipe. I avoid using nonstick pots for this and other recipes that don't need them. It saves on the nonstick wear. Aside from that cooking food on high heat such as boiling can damage nonstick pans.
