The sauce is so easy to do. I used it to marinate steak overnight. The taste was so good. And then another day, we cooked salmon on the bbq and DH basted them with this teriyaki sauce. It was also great. This is a sauce that I will do often and keep in the fridge for when I'm looking for a marinade and don't find one when needed, I'll use this one. Thanks Nikki :) Made for the Australian Recipe Swap for June 2012

The taste of this sauce is great and was really what I needed as I was running out of mine. It was done in a very short time and it's easier than going out to buy some! Really!<br/><br/>I used following ingredients:<br/>mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine); substituted with dry cherry as I cannot get it here<br/>soy sauce; used dark one<br/>rice vinegar; used distilled one<br/>sesame oil; used 100% pure one<br/>sugar; as described<br/>garlic cloves, minced; as described<br/>fresh ginger, minced, used 2 tablespoon grated and pressed out the juice by hand<br/>red pepper flakes; from my own<br/>black pepper; as described<br/><br/>I tried this over some white rice (leftover) and the taste is great. I will use this for sure to marinate chicken and other dishes.<br/><br/>Result can be very different depending on the ingredients.<br/>Thanks a lot for this great seasoning mix!

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
