What is teriyaki sauce or seitan ?

One often finds the term ‘teriyaki’ in Oriental recipes, but what exactly is teriyaki sauce? Teriyaki is a Japanese word that consists of two different parts: ‘teri’ means lustre and ‘yaki’ means baking or grilling. So teriyaki is a Japanese technique for grilling and glazing. The term has become common in Western cuisine and teriyaki sauce is used in many Eastern dishes.

Making teriyaki sauce

It’s easy to make your own teriyaki sauce, and you can also create variations. The original teriyaki sauce involves a combination of soya sauce, sake, mirin and sugar, and can be used in wok dishes, for marinating and for glazing. Today you can also find teriyaki marinade or sauce on supermarket shelves, but of course it’s much healthier when you make it yourself using healthy organic ingredients.
