Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
Asian Grilling Recipes Sauces and Salsa
This Japanese sauce is used as a marinade for beef, chicken, shrimp, or calamari, which can then be roasted in the oven or, even better, grilled.
It's a sweeter sauce with a slight kick from the mustard. The basic version of the sauce contains only soy sauce, mirin, and sugar/honey. The name of the sauce is a combination of two Japanese words "teri" and "yaki." "Teri" means "gloss," and "yaki" means "grill," referring to the shiny glaze that forms on meat cooked on the grill when brushed with this sauce.
