To make Teriyaki Sauce, I use Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin. One day I used Fish Sauce instead of Soy Sauce. I thought Garlic and Citrus Juice were definitely needed. I added Chilli as well. Then my Teriyaki Chicken ended up as something familiar. It’s very different from Japanese Teriyaki, but it is absolutely delicious.
