So, a common thing to make is teriyaki, it's quick, it's fairly simple, and relatively easy to make. What makes teriyaki ultimately is the sauce, and so if you know how to make teriyaki sauce, then everything else just sort of falls into place. It can be used both as a marinade and as a sauce to serve over the meal, which lends it great versatility, hopefully you enjoy this.

Some of you might be wondering what the pineapple juice is for, usually a little citrus gives the teriyaki a little tang, and additionally, if used as a marinade, the acid helps to tenderize the meat. If necessary, you can replace the pineapple juice with orange juice as well, lemon juice might work too, but I'm afraid it might be a little too tangy. Basically that's all there is to teriyaki sauce, now how what to do with it is kind of the other question. Of course, the most basic is chicken teriyaki. You'd probably want a piece of chicken breast and grill it in oil. An option could be to first marinate the chicken in the sauce and then grill it. Use on whatever you want, it's teriyaki, they have teriyaki everything.
