how do you make your teriaki? this is mine (a repost from 2001):

teriaki sauce:

1/3 cup soy (i use kikkoman)

2 tbs mirin

2 1/2 tbs cider vinegar

2 tbs brownulated sugar

1 1/2 tbs chopped ginger root

1 tsp chopped garlic (i use the nasty stuff from the jar)

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,
