And if you want a sauce to pour over, use same ingredients, add some cornstarch and cook to thicken.

No mystery ingredients and you can alter to your taste.

NOT a canning recipe though, just make it fresh as needed.

This is a prize winning sauce , not because it's mine , but I was there when it happened , sort of . I worked with a chef whose parents were from Japan . A famous restaurant ran a competition for best teriyaki sauce , and the chefs' ex-wife entered his familys' recipe . It won First Place , she won some bucks , he was po'd . He gave anyone that was interested the rescipe that day . I don't use exact measurement anymore , but here is the basic thing :

1 c. soy sauce
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. sherry
ginger
garlic

Simmer to melt sugar and meld spices . Tastes best if done ahead and left to age in the fridge .
