Nothing is better than topping your food with a thick dollop of sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce. Teriyaki sauce has become a staple amongst cooks around the world. But how did teriyaki sauce rise to popularity? Let’s learn about the history of teriyaki, followed by our favorite flavorful teriyaki recipes that you can easily make at home.
What is Teriyaki?
The history of teriyaki cooking methods dates back to Japan’s Tokugawa dynasty, which lasted from 1603 to 1867. During this revolutionary period, new ingredients and approaches to cooking were introduced. When split, the word “teri” means “shine” and the word “yaki” means “grill.”
Teriyaki rose to popularity in the 1960s when Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii. The marinade used pineapple juice and brown sugar blended with soy sauce, which became the sweet and tangy sauce that we know and love today.
