About Teriyaki sauce

Teriyaki sauce is a Japanese-style sauce used to season or glaze foods. Common versions combine soy sauce with sweetening ingredients, and may include mirin, sake or other seasonings; recipes and commercial formulations vary. The term can describe a prepared bottled sauce or a sauce made for a particular dish, and does not guarantee a single ingredient list.

It is usually brown, glossy and savoury-sweet, with a pourable to thick consistency depending on the recipe. It may be brushed onto food during cooking, used as a marinade or served as a condiment. Reduced glazes are more concentrated than thinner sauces, and should not be treated as interchangeable with every bottled version.
