Note
If the vegetable oil or teriyaki sauce is cold, the sauce may appear cloudy. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
For a warmer flavor profile, gently heat the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, but do not boil.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using again.
This sauce works well as a marinade for tofu or vegetables before grilling or pan-frying.
