Teriyaki sauce and a protein would have to be one of the more popular asian inspired combos in the Western world. 

Whether you order fish, chicken, or beef, teriyaki sauce is a popular addition to a bucket load of food items in Japanese cuisine. The word teriyaki pertain to a method of cooking and combines the words “teri,” meaning luster, and "yaki" meaning grilled. 

According to the Kikkoman company, the syrupy sweet teriyaki we bloody adore originated in Hawaii, when Japanese immigrants mixed local ingredients such as pineapple juice and brown sugar that was used as a marinade. 

 

INGREDIENTS:

Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp teriyaki marinade

  • 3 tbsp hoisin 

  • 12 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp white vinegar

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or lobster oil

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tsp fresh ginger (minced)

  • 2 large cloves garlic (crushed)

Extras:

  • 1 cup of rice 

  • sliced spring onion for garnish
