You can do it either way. I'm partial to adding teriyaki sauce to cooked meat but traditionally, in Hawaii, teri-beef has been made by marinading in thin teriyaki sauce. If you add the sauce to cooked meat, you should use thick sauce.

Thick teriyaki sauce is easy to make. Add some soy sauce to a pan and add enough sugar to balance out the saltiness. Add almost an equal amount of water and some ginger and a little garlic to taste. I don't usually add garlic but some people do. Thicken with some corn starch/flour slurry.

There's a lot of stuff happening on this rock, food-wise. The other day, a woman proudly showed me her pasta machine that she got from Japan. I wanted to take her picture with it but she was too shy.

Here's what I had yesterday. It's mochi rice cooked in coconut milk, mango, and haupia (coconut) sauce. It's pretty good if you like that kind of stuff.
