Chicken teriyaki bowls

Teriyaki sauce is actually as much of a cooking method, grilling, or “yaki” as it is in the sauce or glaze, “teri.”  Believed to have been created in the 17th century Japan, and gained popularity in the west during the 1960s, teriyaki can be prepared with fish, chicken or beef.

The more traditional recipes contain sake and mirin, and you can also find pineapple juice in some versions.  I find the recipe below is the ideal balance of sweet and savory.
