Teriyaki Sauce
With Ginger And Garlic
This is a thin sauce. If you're looking for a thick teriyaki, just add a little corn starch slurry when you simmer it. Thin teriyaki will work great as a marinade, or a dip for maybe gyoza or lettuce wraps.
What you will need
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 tbsp honey

Actually, I'd really like to try a tofu or seitan version of teriyaki lettuce wraps. https://craftlog.com/us/cooking/teriyaki-chicken-lettuce-wraps-3ppvX

It also works well as a grill marinade though. You could grill eggplant or mushrooms on skewers and baste with teriyaki.
