What is teriyaki?

Teriyaki is actually a Japanese cooking method where you grill or broil meat or fish with a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine (traditionally mirin), and sugar (or honey).

“Teri” (照り) means the shine or luster given by the sugar content, and “yaki” (焼き), which refers to the cooking technique of grilling / broiling.

Although teriyaki is often associated to Japanese cuisine, this cooking method is also commonly used other Asian countries also, such as Chinese, Taiwanese, Indonesian, and Thai cuisine.

What is teriyaki sauce?

Nowadays around the world we often just think of the teriyaki sauce when we hear the word teriyaki.

The Teriyaki sauce is a savory and sweet sauce that can be used as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce that’s made with soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar (and often times garlic and ginger are also added).

It’s not hard to see why teriyaki sauce is so popular around the world. The flavor is so tasty with a balance of sweet, savory, and tangy!

The sweetness comes from the sugar / honey, while the soy sauce adds to the savory notes, and rice wine adding to some tanginess – while garlic and ginger add even more pow to the flavor!

How to cook Teriyaki Pork Stir Fry

First, gather your ingredients! You’ll need:

• 1 lb pork loin chops, cut in to bite size
• Marinade:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (or honey)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp cooking oil, separated
• 1 tsp ginger, sliced thinly
• 4 cloves of garlic, chopped roughly
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 bell peppers (any color!), seeded and sliced

If you haven’t already, using a sharp knife, cut pork in to bite size.

In a mixing bowl, add the marinade ingredients with the pork. Combine well and then set it aside to marinade for about half an hour (up to over night!)

In a cooking pan or wok, add cooking oil, and let it heat up on medium high.

Add garlic, ginger, and pork along with all the marinade sauce, and stir fry for about 3 minutes or until pork is mostly browned, and immediately remove everything from heat by placing in a big plate or bowl and set aside.

Add another tbsp of cooking oil. Then, add sliced onions and peppers. Stir fry for about 3 minutes, or until onions and peppers start getting tender. The onions will start turning translucent.

Return the pork and sauce back in to pan and sprinkle sugar and salt to taste. Stir fry everything for about another 2-3 minutes or until pork is cooked thoroughly and the veggies are tender.

Remove from heat and serve!
