Hello~
I made this today and made some changes, since I didn’t had few ingredients and it still turned out great! My family loved it!
I did everything the same but at the same time different, I substituted tofu with cottage cheese (paneer) and added some green chilli paste since my family loves spicy and a little bit of honey on top as it becomes a mix of savoury and spicy. But it was great! Thank you for this recipe. I know this was not exactly a teriyaki sauce which i made, but your recipes help me a lot with great snack items. Lots of love! 💜🥰☺️
So glad you made it your own and loved it 🙂 Appreciate you! Cheers!
