Jul 30, 2015 It may not be a traditionally Japanese combination, but that's not to say that teriyaki sauce doesn't go well with hamburgers. Spectacularly so. But you can't just go to the store, buy a bottle of sauce, and start dousing your burger in it willy-nilly. There's technique at the heart of a good teriyaki-glazed burger.

Teriyaki (kanji: 照り焼き) is a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which foods are broiled or grilled with a glaze of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.^[1]^[2]

Fish – yellowtail, marlin, skipjack tuna, salmon, trout, and mackerel – is mainly used in Japan, while white and red meat – chicken, pork, lamb, and beef – is more often used in the West. Other ingredients sometimes used in Japan include squid, hamburger steak, and meatballs.

The word teriyaki derives from the noun teri (照り), which refers to a shine or luster given by the sugar content in the tare (タレ), and yaki (焼き), which refers to the cooking method of grilling or broiling.^[3] Traditionally the meat is dipped in or brushed with sauce several times during cooking.^[4]

Chicken teriyaki

The tare (タレ) is traditionally made by mixing and heating soy sauce and sake (or mirin) and sugar (or honring onions) (see tare).

Teriyaki sauce[edit]

In North America, any dish made with a teriyaki-like sauce is described as teriyaki. This often even includes those using foreign alternatives to sake or mirin, such as wine, or with added ingredients, such as sesame or garlic (uncommon in traditional Japanese cuisine). The sauce used for teriyaki is generally sweet, although it can also be spicy. Pineapple juice is sometimes used, as it not only provides sweetness but also bromelain enzymes that help tenderize the meat. Grilling meat first and pouring the sauce on afterwards or using sweet sauce as a marinade are other non-traditional methods of cooking teriyaki.^[1] Teriyaki sauce is sometimes put on chicken wings or used as a dipping sauce.
