Teriyaki

Teriyaki is a Japanese cooking technique in which food, most often meat or fish, is broiled or grilled while being glazed with a sauce of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. The name combines teri, the shine the sugar gives the glaze, and yaki, meaning to grill or broil, and the meat is typically dipped in or brushed with the sauce during cooking. The technique developed in Japan during the Edo period. In the United States the term also came to describe a plate lunch style of fast food that grew out of the technique in Seattle, adapting it for American tastes.
