Chef Tips:
Teri anything is a plate lunch favorite, distinctly different from the Japanese origins. In Japan, combining soy sauce and mirin, the Japanese sweet cooking wine, makes teriyaki, and it is used to marinate fish and as a basting sauce for broiling. The term came from "glazed" (teri) and "seared with heat" (yaki). In Hawaii, the brown sugar is substituted for mirin, and ginger and green onions were added.The addition of substantial amounts of sugar to soy sauce would have been natural where mirin was virtually unobtainable but where sugar was king. Ginger and garlic may have been Chinese additions. Hawaiian-style teriyaki sauce has become one of the culinary symbols of the Islands.
