  1. mine didn't look like yours; however, I think that's because I didn't let it brown enough before adding the sauce. Let me say, though, after years of looking for a good/ accurate teriyaki recipe, I finally found one. Delicious flavor!

    • I think where she says "add the gum in warm water" that she means to add it to the sauce that's heated on the stove top. At least that's what I concluded after reading it multiple times. I'm going to try it that way.

  2. This looks like a nice teriyaki sauce recipe except it doesn't say what kind of clove to use. I'm not sure if the author meant garlic clove or what.
