Notes
It is normal to see some crystals form during storage. To dissolve you can reheat sauce using the stove or microwave.
This sauce can be thickened with a cornstarch slurry (1 Tablespoon cold water to 1 tablespoon cornstarch). Whisk into sauce when boiling. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute before removing from the heat. This method is great if you plan on using this sauce to serve with grilled chicken or as a topping.
We like to cook cubed chicken thighs in this sauce (without using a slurry). We allow the sauce to reduce, thicken and become very dark while cooking the chicken in it. See Teriyaki Chicken Bowls recipe.
