teriyakiglazed

Teriyakiglazed refers to food that has been coated or brushed with teriyaki sauce and then cooked, typically grilled, broiled, or baked. The teriyaki sauce itself is a traditional Japanese glaze made from soy sauce, mirin (a type of rice wine), sake, and sugar. The name "teriyaki" originates from the Japanese word "teri," which describes the shine or luster that the sauce gives to the food, and "yaki," meaning grilled or broiled.

When food is teriyakiglazed, the glaze caramelizes during the cooking process, creating a sweet, savory, and slightly sticky coating. This method is commonly applied to meats such as chicken, beef, and pork, as well as seafood like salmon and shrimp. Vegetables can also be teriyakiglazed. The resulting dish often has a distinct aroma and a pleasing balance of flavors. Variations in the teriyaki sauce exist, with some recipes adding ingredients like ginger, garlic, or honey to alter the taste profile. The preparation is popular globally for its simplicity and delicious outcome, often served as a main course or appetizer.
