You can also substitute honey for brown sugar or adjust the garlic and ginger to suit your taste. This glaze works wonderfully on Teriyaki Grilled Chicken or in a Fresh Vegetable Stir-Fry.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover teriyaki glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, gently warm it in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches the desired consistency. This ensures it maintains its flavor and texture.
