I didn't realize when I gave away my sake from a recent trip to Japan,
that I could make tariyake sauce with it. So I retrieved the Sake
from my non-drinking daughter and plan to make this sauce tonight with
salmon.

21/2 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbs soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp sake

Marinate salmon for 10 mins., then dust with cornstarch. Saute salmon
in oil and butter, pour leftover sauce and simmer. Top with lemon
peel. e.

I skip the mirin and sugar and use strong pineapple juice from concentrate
and ginger, and sometimes sesame oil depending on what I'm making.

this is how i make my home-made (probably not traditional):

teriyaki sauce:

1/3 cup soy

2 tbs mirin

2 1/2 tbs cider vinegar

2 tbs brown sugar

1 1/2 tbs chopped ginger root

1 tsp chopped garlic

1/2 tsp sesame seeds (optional) (would probably be better toasted, but
i'm too lazy)

* * * *

in a small saucepan, mix ingredients together and bring to a boil. lower
heat and simmer gently for around 10 minutes. strain, put into a bottle
and keep refrigerated. should last approximately forever, unless you like
it, as i do.
