I agree with the previous review in that it is missing something. My husband really liked the meat though so I will probably try this again. Maybe fresh ginger would help. Oh and I did use fresh garlic.

I didn't do the sauce. The pork didn't taste the teriyaki. Maybe that is the reason. But the pork has a good taste. A good thing about this recipe is that it's easy to do.

I had a pork roast that needed to be cooked so I tried this method and it was good, not fantastic, but good and great for a busy day. It needed something....I think I'll try it again with fresh ginger and garlic, rather than the powdered versions. Thanks for posting this Audrey.
