Teriyaki - Made using sugar, light soy sauce, sake and dark soy sauce.
My own noodle sauce (enough for 3 portions of noodles)
2tbsp light soy sauce
1tsp runny honey
1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
ginger, to taste (I use chopped, frozen ginger or even ground)
1/2 tsp sesame oil
I immediately put the teriyaki to good use, as a marinade for strips of pork to be made into skewers. My children love teriyaki pork, beef or chicken, I guess it is because it is a reasonably mild yet sticky and sweet flavour. For some reason, they also love eating food off a stick, I think this is true of most children, I must take advantage of this fact more often!
I tend to use the same method to cook whichever meat I happen to have at the time, today it was pork loin. I cut the pork into strips about 1.5cm wide, then left the strips to marinade in the teriyaki sauce for a couple of hours (sometimes more, if it fits into my day to make it earlier). I then threaded the pork onto bamboo skewers and baked them in the oven at 180c for about 20 minutes.
I served these with noodles (served with my noodle sauce and toasted sesame seeds) and steamed edamame beans. There was not a scrap left at the end of dinner. Job done.
