Teriyaki Sauce Recipe for Grilling

August 10, 2020 · 1 Comment

Teriyaki Sauce Ingredients

Teriyaki sauce is REALLY easy to make if you have the right ingredients on hand. If you don’t have the right ingredients on hand…well, that is another article. And the great thing about Teriyaki sauce is that it can be used on a large number of dishes. Traditionally, Japanese use this mostly on fish, according to Wikipedia. But here in the States, we use it on just about everything. It’s good on beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, and yes, even vegetables.

You can make it thicker with the addition of some cornstarch, if you like it thick. I like it a bit runnier, so I can pour it on my sticky rice. And I often marinade with the watery version, then use the thick Teriyaki when basting.

Man cannot live by pork chop alone. Every now and then you must sauce it up a bit. This smokey green sauce blends great with a pork chop. The combination of roasted poblano peppers, tomatillos and garlic make a savory sauce. This might also make a great base for a roasted corn and black bean salsa, which I might have to try some day soon. I'll let you know when I do. It's best to cook this recipe on a charcoal grill, so that the smokey flavor gets infused into the peppers and tomatillos and a side of mushrooms
