History and Origin of Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki is a Japanese cooking technique in which foods are boiled and grilled. Teriyaki sauce is expected to be originated from Hawaii by Japanese immigrants.

Apparently, we can’t find any official history of teriyaki sauce. It’s only the cooking method which the Japanese are following since the 17th century.

It is one of the amazing marinade sauce for chicken, meat, fish, and beef. It is sweet in taste and also can be served with rice.

The main ingredients of Teriyaki are brown sugar/castor sugar, cornstarch, garlic, mirin (rice wine) sake, soy sauce, and sugar. Being a Muslim, I have used vinegar instead of wine.
