Teriyaki Sauce is a sweet and
tangy sauce that although most popularly used
with beef, chicken or pork, can be
used in a variety of other ways, such as with shrimp or
fish, or as a dipping sauce for egg rolls, chicken nuggets,
chicken wings and more. Teriyaki Sauce is known for its
popularity |
|
|
|
in Japanese cuisine, but its
popularity has clearly spread around the world. This
Teriyaki sauce recipe is made with soy sauce, fresh ginger
root, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar,
and has a attractive glistening appearance.
There is a
difference between Teriyaki Sauce and teriyaki marinade.
Teriyaki marinade has a thinner consistency than
Teriyaki Sauce, and is commonly used for marinating
(soaking) meats before cooking or grilling, giving the meat
added flavor, moisture and tenderness. Teriyaki Sauce is
used after the meat has been cooked. Sometimes both the
marinade and the sauce are used when |
|
cooking meat dishes. This Teriyaki Sauce is
used with the
Polynesian Teriyaki Burger, but can be used in
any style of hamburger, including burgers topped with
pineapple, mushrooms, or with all the traditional hamburger
toppings. |
