Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

I made a recipe (coming up soon!) that called for teriyaki sauce, but I didn’t want to go buy something I knew I could make on my own and avoid a lot of junk ingredients.  This sauce turned out really well.  At first it was missing something and I couldn’t quite decide what it was. I tried more honey, but that didn’t fix it. I finally figured out that it needed more ginger.  I had no idea that ginger was the taste behind teriyaki!
