I’m good with most of the “What’s Hot” entries, but I take exception to teriyaki making the ‘What’s Not” list!. I love teriyaki sauce-it’s easy to make, everybody likes it and it can be used on just about anything (fish, chicken, beef, pork, veggies, etc). Come to think of it, I also take exception to kabobs being on the list-I especially like teriyaki kabobs. How not with it am I?

I’ve been making my own teriyaki since 1981 (ouch). One of my housemates when I lived in Lake Tahoe shared his recipe with me. I have no idea where the recipe originated, all I know is that it’s delicious.

Teriyaki Sauce

1/4 cup tamari or coconut aminos

1 Tbs raw honey

1 inch piece fresh ginger

1 Tbs sesame oil

3 Tbs white wine or saki

2 cloves garlic

1/2 tsp dry mustard

I slice up the ginger and garlic then put all of the ingredients into my Magic Bullet. Give it  a good whir and you’re done. If you don’t have a Magic Bullet, just finely mince the ginger and garlic and stir everything together.

Pour over whatever you decide you want for dinner and let marinate for at least an hour, then bake, broil, or grill.

Enjoy!

Teriyaki Salmon and roasted veggies-yum!
