TNKS you and I don't see eye to eye on most anything, but I'll give you and THP my teriyaki recipe nonetheless.
Teriyaki base recipe:
2 cups soy sauce
1 cup brown sugar
4-5 cloves of garlic - minced (I use 5)
2 tsp fresh ginger - grated
1 tsp shichimi togarashi (sub chinese 5 spice if necessary)
1 tsp pepper powder or flake as needed (optional)
Mix all ingredients, allow to sit for a day or two so the flavors can marry. As is this is great for a marinade and will soak 2-3lbs of meat for jerky. If you want to use this for a glaze then mix in 1 tbsp or so of cornstarch and heat it up in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Sauce will thicken as it comes to a boil. Keep warm if using as a glaze - coat during last third of cook time.
If you have leftover glaze you can mix in the juice from a lime or two and use it later on as a dipping sauce.
