{"id":3427,"slug":"teriyaki-sauce","title":"Teriyaki Sauce","description":"The word teriyaki is a combination of two Japanese words, teri, \"luster\", and yaki, \"to grill or broil\". The mirin in the sauce gives a good luster to meat as it is cooked. Traditionally it was used with fish. It can also be used as a marinade for pre-cooked meat and poultry, as well as a delicious baste for items on the grill or rotisserie. Teriyaki sauce is a complement to virtually any type of meat (as long as you adjust the flavors accordingly), especially steak, chicken, fish and pork.","ingredients_raw":["¼ cup (2 parts) soy sauce","¼ cup (2 parts) mirin","2 tablespoons (1 part) brown sugar","1 tsp fresh, peeled, finely-chopped ginger","1 tsp fresh, peeled, finely-chopped garlic","A litte bit of sake (optional)"],"ingredients_norm":["soy sauce","mirin","brown sugar","fresh finely chopped ginger","fresh finely chopped garlic","litte bit of sake"],"steps":["Mix everything in a 1-quart pot over low heat until the sugar dissolves.","Use sauce to marinate some raw meat or vegetables overnight in the refrigerator."],"categories":["Sauce recipes","Recipes for sauces and condiments","Japanese recipes","Recipes using brown sugar","Recipes using garlic","Recipes using fresh ginger","Recipes using soy sauce","Recipes using mirin"],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":null,"servings":null,"yield_text":null,"difficulty":"very easy","source_name":"wikibooks","source_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Teriyaki_Sauce","source_ref":"4536305","authors_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Teriyaki_Sauce&action=history","license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","extraction_confidence":null,"content_hash":"594722965aded2867e903b7fa29772fee658dd70140d7c475d7e5232541ea8c6","created_at":"2026-08-02T14:43:27Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T17:11:31Z","notice":null,"url":"https://recipecontextprotocol.com/recipes/teriyaki-sauce"}
