Slowly pour into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly.

Cook 2–3 minutes until the sauce becomes thick, shiny, and coats a spoon.

Taste and adjust:

Teriyaki Sauce INSTRUCTIONS
The secret technique to Island teriyaki is to marinate for a long time, at least overnight and sometimes for days. Do NOT marinate chicken breasts in teriyaki sauce--they get a really horrible texture. Thighs, drumsticks, wings are okay. Other meats seem to be fine. Beef and pork should be sliced first so the marinade really penetrates. The teriyaki sauce recipe is done...enjoy !
