Back to Basics Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade

1. 1

   Combine the soy sauce, sake and mirin.

2. 2

   This is the marinade.

3. 3

   To use, marinate whatever you're cooking for about half an hour in a small amount of marinade (1-2 tablespoons for a boneless chicken breast, fish filet, small beef steak or block of tofu), then grill.

4. 4

   If you want to make the sauce, mix the soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, ginger and garlic, then heat over low heat for about 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Do NOT re-use marinade to make the sauce -- use ingredients that have not touched any meat.

6. 6

   Use less sugar if you prefer -- I don't advise using more.

7. 7

   Remove the ginger and garlic.

8. 8

   Use the sauce to glaze whatever you're grilling for the final minute.

9. 9

   Remove the grilled food, slice into bite-sized pieces, and serve over rice with a spoonful or so of warm teriyaki sauce to top.

10. 10

    This recipe makes enough for 4 when made as a marinade, enough for 2 when made as a sauce.
