I made these once as directed while pork was on sale and they were okay. I had kabobs in the past with cherry tomatoes and did not like how they tasted, as well as the way they tend to burn your tongue when you bite into them. I decided it had been awhile and I would give them another shot, which turned out to be a bad decision. The thing with cherry tomatoes is more of a personal preference; however, my only qualm with the recipe itself was the sauce, that in my opinion did not add anything, other than a mess on the grill. This week chicken was on sale so I made these again with chicken, leaving out the tomatoes as well as the sauce. This time I felt like it was a much more enthusiastic “okay,” but still just okay nonetheless. If I made these again, which I do not think I will, I would make it like I did the second time, except replace 1 tbs of the marinade for the meat with sesame oil to give it a bit more of an Asian flavor.

Really great! I followed the advice of the other comments and used low sodium soy sauce and honestly found myself adding a little salt later. Really great flavor though, my family loved it!

GREAT flavor and easy! Used beef sirloin instead of pork and the crushed red pepper was perfect (I was a little worried at 1/2 tsp). I did up the brown sugar to 3TBSP as some readers recommended, crushed the garlic and used fresh ginger, and it made a lot of sauce, I would cut sauce in half next time.

I didn't like the tomatoes. The sauce did taste too much like beef broth. I added more brown sugar, and then it tasted like sweet beef broth. I even used fresh ginger, but it didn't help. In the end, I added some fish sauce and rice vinegar, and then it was okay, but not really good. I think I will use bottled teriyaki in the future.

This is out of this world good! I doubled the marinade for 2 lbs. of pork, but kept the amount of olive oil the same and always use low sodium soy sauce. I added 2 tbsp. each of brown sugar and rice wine vinegar along with 1/4 tsp. of ground ginger. I let this marinate for a full 24 hours. With marinades, the longer the better some times. I kept the basting sauce the same (didn't double) and used 3 Tbsp. of brown sugar. It thickened up nicely. I skewered the pork sepapate from the veggies and pineapple as they cook at different rates. This went great with "Sesame Noodles" from this site.

Fairly good, though be careful to keep the basting sauce warm, otherwise it forms a skin. Removed the red onion as I don't care for it, and served the kabobs on rice with a crunchy salad.

These were delicious! I used pre-marinated Teriyaki Turkey simply because that's what I had on hand and it turned out great (and a little more healthy). I served these with brown rice, mixing some of the basting sauce in for added flavor. Definitely will use this recipe again!

These were delicious! I marinated for about 6 hours and basted with the extra sauce. I made the sauce as stated, except I grated fresh ginger into the marinade instead of using ground ginger. I will definitely be making these again!
