Teriyaki Sauce

• Teriyaki sauce is fantastic as a marinade for chicken, beef, or fish, imparting a sweet and savory glaze that caramelizes beautifully during grilling, baking, or stir-frying. Marinate the protein for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for optimal flavor absorption.
• Use teriyaki sauce as a stir-fry sauce, tossing it with vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, and onions, along with tofu or shrimp, for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The sauce creates a glossy finish and adds a delicious sweet-salty dimension.
• Drizzle teriyaki sauce over rice bowls or noodle dishes, adding a burst of umami flavor and a visually appealing glaze. It pairs especially well with rice bowls featuring grilled chicken or salmon.
• Incorporate teriyaki sauce into homemade burger glazes by brushing it over the patties during the last few minutes of grilling or pan-frying. This adds a unique Asian-inspired twist to classic burgers, enhancing both flavor and presentation.
• Make a simple teriyaki dipping sauce for appetizers like spring rolls, dumplings, or chicken skewers by combining it with a touch of sesame oil and rice vinegar. Adjust the proportions to your desired level of sweetness and tang.
• Elevate the flavor of your salmon by baking it with a teriyaki glaze. Brush the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets before baking and again halfway through for a delicious and flavorful result. The sweetness of the teriyaki complements the richness of the salmon perfectly.

Unopened teriyaki sauce should be stored in a cool, dark pantry. Once opened, it must be refrigerated to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed. Properly stored, opened teriyaki sauce can last for several months in the refrigerator. Check for any changes in color, smell, or consistency before using.
