Teriyaki sauce is a traditional Japanese condiment, renowned for its rich blend of sweet and savory flavors. It's made from a mixture of soy sauce, sake or mirin (a sweet rice wine), and sugar or honey, creating a unique balance of umami and sweetness.
Chefs frequently use teriyaki sauce as a marinade or glaze for grilled or broiled meats and vegetables, infusing dishes with its distinctive flavor that caramelizes beautifully when cooked.
