My husband and I teamed up for dinner last night. Sunday is just a perfect day for grilling! He manned the grill while I mastered and perfected the teriyaki sauce. Teriyaki sauce is known for it’s sweet and savory flavors. This sauce is just that plus has a bit of a kick. The sauce takes about 10 minutes to make and is so simple. You have no excuses not to try this! You may have to run to the grocery store for a few items, but I promise, it’s totally worth it.
The teriyaki sauce also has terrific health benefits if using Coocnut Aminos. You can find Coconut Aminos at grocery stores including Whole Foods and online found here. Coconut aminos contains healthy amino acids that your body can’t function without. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein! Protein is important for so many functions in the body, including healthy skin and hair growth. This recipe is healthy and delicious and will surely not disappoint!
