Teriyaki is a traditional national Japanese sauce. It is made from soy sauce, sake, sugar and mirin (sweet Japanese wine). In our country, Japanese products can be easily replaced with domestic ingredients. For example, replace sake with vodka, and mirin with your favorite wine. Teriyaki is usually served with fish and meat dishes. It is also used to prepare all kinds of products that are automatically called Teriyaki. The processing of products involves cutting the meat into small pieces, lightly marinating in the sauce and frying until caramelized. And thanks to the sugar present, the dish acquires its characteristic shine. The Japanese call Teriyaki both the sauce and the way of cooking the dishes that are cooked in it. Our supermarkets now sell ready-made Teriyaki sauce, but one made with our own hands is still tastier.
