Making your own teriyaki sauce is easy and there are endless variations, with most including soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar or molasses. Some contain citrus like orange or grapefruit.
There are some good bottled sauces on the market, and this is one of those meals that starts out pretty simple and by using a bottled sauce it becomes a real quickie weekday meal. There are low sodium versions and the San-J brand even makes their teriyaki with gluten free tamari sauce.
