What Is Teriyaki?
Teriyaki is an Asian dish that involves grilling or broiling meat and covering it in a sauce usually containing soy sauce, sugar, mirin (a rice wine), and ginger. In Japanese the word “Teriyaki” is pretty self-explanatory. “Teri” means shine and “Yaki” means grill, describing grilled mean with a shiny sauce.Teriyaki can be made using all kinds of meat. Japanese Teriyaki usually uses fish, while a lot of the Teriyaki here in the U.S. uses meat like chicken, beef, and pork.
