In Japan, teriyaki sauce is traditionally made with equal parts shoyu (soy sauce)and mirin (sweet rice wine). Similar to sake, mirin is one of the most important ingredients in Japanese cooking. Mirin tenderizes and adds mild sweetness and umami, is especially complementary to fish, and gives teriyaki it’s tempting signature luster. While most Westernized versions of teriyaki are typically sweetened with sugar, honey, or pineapple juice, this version is gently sweetened with orange marmalade. Look for one of the classic french brands made with few ingredients and no high-fructose corn syrup. Oishii!
