A TikToker known as Rachel Appley (@hey.im.rach) has gone viral for her “In Case Your Mom Didn’t Teach You” series, where she shares simple life hacks and cooking tips. Her latest video, showcasing a two-ingredient homemade teriyaki sauce made with just soy sauce and brown sugar, has garnered over 1.2 million views.
While the recipe seems surprisingly simple, viewers are divided. Some are thrilled with the ease and affordability, while others question the lack of depth in flavor compared to more complex recipes.
“This gives me the ick,” commented one user, highlighting a common concern.
However, Rach’s approach offers a compelling argument for its simplicity and potential for customization. “If you’re making it at home, you can add in the low/no-calorie sugar substitute of your choice,” she explains, acknowledging dietary concerns.
The debate further highlights the growing trend of simplifying recipes and embracing the “back to basics” approach in cooking.
The video has also sparked a wave of sharing among viewers, with many adding their own variations and ingredients to create a diverse array of teriyaki sauces.
While the convenience of pre-made teriyaki sauce remains undeniable, Rach’s video emphasizes the personal touch and freedom offered by homemade alternatives. The question remains: will viewers embrace the two-ingredient simplicity or stick to their tried-and-true recipes?
