this is how i make my home-made (probably not traditional):

teriyaki sauce:

1/3 cup soy

2 tbs mirin

2 1/2 tbs cider vinegar

2 tbs brown sugar

1 1/2 tbs chopped ginger root

1 tsp chopped garlic

1/2 tsp sesame seeds (optional) (would probably be better toasted, but
i'm too lazy)

in a small saucepan, mix ingredients together and bring to a boil. lower
heat and simmer gently for around 10 minutes. strain, put into a bottle
and keep refrigerated. should last approximately forever, unless you like
it, as i do.

your pal,
