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.

Thanks very much!

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.

Do you mean the pasta cutter? I have one of those)

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.

I have never eaten anything like that so I can't comment except to
say, I am glad you enjoyed it)
