Teriyaki

TERIYAKI; let's break it down..."Teri" refers to the lusterous glaze that the sauce forms as it reduces. "Yaki" is the grilling or pan frying method used to cook the ingredients.

 Super simple to make, teriyaki sauce is basically soy sauce, sake or mirin (Japanese cooking wine) and sugar. Sometimes grated ginger is added to the mix.

Due in part to it's versatility, teriyaki sauce is one of Japan's most popular culinary exports. It pairs well with pretty much any protein. Chicken, beef or tofu are all delicious options.
