Notes
If you don’t have time to make your own teriyaki sauce at home you can buy ready-made ones in Amazon
This would look and taste a lot better without the starch. The sugar is enough to thicken it
Beautifully done!

I really love eating sizzling teriyaki squid. Although we use squid stuffed with chopped tomatoes and onions, it helps to bring out all the flavors from the sauce to the squid.
