Teriyaki marinade is a flavorful sauce that adds a delicious touch to your favorite dishes. Originating from Japanese cuisine, this marinade typically consists of a combination of soy sauce, mirin (a sweet rice wine), sugar, garlic, ginger, and sometimes additional seasonings like sesame oil or sake. The marinade infuses meats, poultry, seafood, or even tofu with a savory, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor. It's perfect for marinating chicken, beef, or salmon before grilling, broiling, or pan-frying, as it helps tenderize the protein while adding a delightful caramelized glaze.
