Teriyaki sauce is a Japanese sauce made with soy sauce, sugar, and other ingredients such as mirin, sake, garlic, and ginger. It has a sweet and savory flavor and is commonly used as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce for meats, fish, and vegetables.
The word "teriyaki" is derived from the Japanese words "teri", meaning luster or shine, and "yaki", meaning grilled or broiled. The sauce is typically brushed onto meat or fish while grilling or broiling to give it a glossy, caramelized coating.
Teriyaki sauce is widely available in supermarkets and is a popular choice for cooking and eating out. It is often used in Japanese-style dishes such as teriyaki chicken, beef, and salmon, but can also be used as a sauce for stir-fries, salads, and sandwiches.
