Teriyaki glaze is typically made with a combination of soy sauce, mirin (a sweet rice wine), and sugar, which are simmered together until the mixture thickens to a glossy consistency. Some recipes also include additional ingredients like sake (a Japanese rice wine), garlic, ginger, and honey or cornstarch to enhance flavor and getting the desired thickness. This glaze is known for its sweet, savory, and slightly tangy taste, making it a popular choice for marinating and finishing various grilled or broiled dishes.
