FAQs
How do I make teriyaki sauce better?
For added flavor, sweetness, and freshness you can add a tablespoon of pineapple juice. This helps to cut down on some acidity in the sauce as well.
How do you thicken up teriyaki sauce?
The cornstarch slurry added to the recipe is meant to help thicken up the sauce. If your sauce does not thicken after adding in the cornstarch slurry turn up the heat a little bit as oftentimes all that is needed is a warmer liquid to help activate and thicken the cornstarch.
How healthy is chicken teriyaki?
The dish as a whole can be somewhat unhealthy but we are making smarter choices with this homemade version. By choosing low sodium soy sauce, adding in vegetables, and using Splenda as our sweetener we are cutting down on sodium and sugars while increasing nutrients on every plate.

There’s always so much hidden sugar (among other things!) in Chinese food, it drives me nuts! Making your own is totally the way to go and love that you used Splenda in this chicken noodle bowl, all the perfect Chinese food flavor without the added sugar calories!
