Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki is actually a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which foods are broiled or grilled with a glaze of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. So I never thought of making teriyaki at home. But once when I googled about teriyaki I came to know about American style teriyaki sauce which can be easily made at home. I was astonished by the result. The sauce came out so good that it can used to make chicken or any meat or vegetables. Who doesn't like nice sweet thick teriyaki sauce you get from your favorite takeout joint? It needs only a few basic ingredients and very less time.
The original recipe uses ground ginger and garlic powder. But I used fresh ginger and garlic.

How to use this sauce?

Cook or grill meat or vegetables. Heat the teriyaki sauce in a pan add the cooked vegetables or meat and mix well till sauce well coated. Enjoy.
