What is Teriyaki Sauce?
If you’ve ever confused teriyaki sauce with soy sauce, you’re not the first person to have done so. While both sauces share the same base of ingredients, teriyaki contains a whole lot more.
These extra ingredients include ginger, sake, and a number other flavorings that strengthen the sweetness and make teriyaki a different sauce altogether.
Teriyaki can be described as a sweet and sticky sauce with a salty and tangy hint. It comes in a number of variations, many of which include garlic, citrus, sesame, and ginger.
There was once a time when it belonged exclusively to Japanese cuisine, but those days are over. Teriyaki sauce is now popular across the globe. This is probably because its fine flavor seems to go well with so many different types of food. It is most commonly served with chicken but also can be used as a tasty complement to fish, beef, and pork. What’s more, teriyaki makes a great dipping sauce for chicken wings, steak, dumplings, and shrimp while also working well with rice dishes, stir fry, and vegetables as a flavor enhancer.
So in summary: what doesn’t taste better with teriyaki?
