Back to our Teriyaki chicken... Teriyaki is actually a cooking technique, where food is broiled or grilled while being basted in marinade of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. For those of you wondering, mirin is a rice wine. We will not be using mirin today. So, now that I've blabbed your ears off, directed you to other blog entires, and schooled you on what Teriyaki is, are we ready to go cook? I am! I'll meet you all in the kitchen!
