“Time-consuming prep? Yes. Messy prep? Yes. Delicious? Yes! I substituted soy sauce with amino acids. I used all my cornstarch on prep, so used tapioca flour for the sauce. The baggie method worked well for the first coating in cornstarch but was very messy for” — a cook, 5.0★
“This is a good recipe, and you can customize the level of sweetness by adjusting the brown sugar, honey and rice wine vinegar. I reduced the honey and sugar by about half, and I also used 1/2 bottle of teriyaki sauce I had in my fridge. It is a little sweet,” — a cook, 4.0★
