How do I know this is Genuine Hawaiian Teriyaki? I learned how to make this in Hawaii, from a dear, sweet Hawaiian Japanese lady, who spoke Pidgin English. Yo burdda, you wan teriyaki kaukau? Haven’t seen it anywhere else so it’s gotta be Hawaiian. Read more I call for dark soy sauce at a 1:1 ratio but you can adjust this to suit your taste and if you use Kikkoman you do need to use less water. Yea, there are lots of recipes for teriyaki sauce out there and I’ve had a few at parties and restaurants but they were sticky, overpowering, last minute paint ons. Because of the salt content of soy sauce, the marinade will make the meat a tad dryer than if you just BBQ, fry or broil it straight but it’s delicious. If you’re one of those who has to have their meat, fish or fowl cooked to death, you have my sympathy but please try to cook your teriyaki stuff as rare as you can handle or it will be very dry. I set out the simple ratios and you need to make as much as you need to cover whatever you want to marinate. Ono kaukau. RJ Sorry the Pics are out of sync. Best I could do with the new GR. See less
Ingredients
- • 1 cup (240ml) dark soy sauce. shopping list
- • 1 cup (240ml) very hot water shopping list
- • ½ (120ml) cup raw sugar shopping list
- • 1 small clove garlic, fine chopped. shopping list
- • 1 small bay leaf shopping list
- • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce shopping list
- • juice of one lemon shopping list
- • Half cup (120ml) of cooking sake shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Mix all the ingredients, except the sake in a bowl large enough to hold the marinade and whatever you want to marinate, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- 2. Make sure the critter you want to marinate is at room temp and rub or paint them with the sake, wait 5 minutes and do that again and a third time, now add the animal parts and sake to the marinade, making sure the marinade covers it completely. See Photo
- 3. Cover and let stand at least 4 hours (fish filets can go for just 2 hours), stirring gently from time to time. You can put this in the fridge if you feel the need but with the soy sauce and sugar it isn’t necessary. See Photo
- The usual way to cook teriyaki is BBQ, open grill or broil but anyway you like will work. We normally have this with rice and tofu with some Japanese style pickled veggies and maybe a slice or two of pineapple for a sweet and slightly sour combo flavor See Photo. A dry Chablis goes well.
