Teriyaki Sauce Yield: 1 cup History: In Japanese, teri means "shiny" or "glazed", and yaki means "baked" or "broiled." The sugar in the sauce creates the shine on the meats as it caramelizes during cooking. Because of the fresh garlic and ginger, the sauce will last for only three to four days in the refrigerator, but it's easy to make so you can whip up a batch in just minutes. Ingredients: 1 cup Kikkoman soy sauce 5 Tbsp sugar 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 piece ginger, crushed 5 Tbsp ketchup 2 Tbsp sake or Sherry wine salt to taste Place all the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce in a blender or food processor. Blend until well combined. Transfer to a storage container, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Marinate meats for at least 3 hours.
