Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker glaze, increase the cornstarch to 1.5 tablespoons, and mix it with a bit of cold water before adding to the saucepan. If you don't have dry sherry, you can substitute with rice vinegar or white wine. To enhance the flavor, consider adding sesame oil or a splash of orange juice. This glaze is also great for Chicken or Beef Teriyaki.
Serving Suggestions
Brush the teriyaki glaze generously on grilled ribs during the last few minutes of cooking for a delicious finish. This dish pairs beautifully with Herb Dumplings or a fresh coleslaw. You can also serve it alongside steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover teriyaki glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, warm it gently on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. If the glaze thickens too much, add a small amount of water or pineapple juice to loosen it.
