How do you use Homemade Teriyaki sauce?
There are lots of uses for homemade Teriyaki. I like to use it when making Instant Pot Chicken Teriyaki or Chicken Teriyaki Bowls. I also love using it when I make these amazing Hawaiian burgers!
It is also great for marinating meat.

I do suggest if you want to have a marinade that you skip adding the slurry to the teriyaki sauce mixture so you have a thinner teriyaki marinade.
