Back in the early 60s, when I did my first trip to Hawaii, I lived with the Sarish family. Mike Sarish was an old friend of my Dad’s, from his Army days. They had four kids & I bunked in with the oldest son Steven (known by one and all as Stabo), who was about my age.

I picked up a few recipes from her and one was Teriyaki Marinade. She made it plain that Teriyaki is not a sauce you paint on after the meat, chicken or fish cooks but a marinade in which the grub soaks for a while. Man, those were happy, carefree days. I was eighteen, living free and picken up some spare change workin as a Beach Boy on Waikiki; surfing; paddling canoe & just hanging out. Ah yes, the marinade. See less
Ingredients
- 2 cups of heavy, mushroom type, soy sauce. You can use Kikkoman but use half as much water. shopping list
