Its easy to find at a popular grocery chain.

Store-bought, prepared sauces are one of the main ways I make this happen.

I particularly like using pre-made teriyaki sauce.

When it comes to store-bought teriyaki sauce, Ive found that not all options are created equal.

Some brands meet my high standards, while others miss the mark.

Such variability has led me to wonder which brand of teriyaki sauce food pros generally rely on.

So I asked three experts and found that they all recommend the same brand!

The flavor of this TJs fixture is one of its major selling points.

Its a go-to for Clarke as both a marinade and a sauce.

It’s not cloyingly sweet, a downfall of many store-bought sauces.

Another attraction of this sauce is how accessible it is.

This sauce is made with coconut aminos and organic ingredients but still delivers that umami richness, Fischer explains.

Clarke agrees, adding that she appreciates its clean ingredient list.
