Instructies
Prepare Marinade:
In a saucepan, combine the grated ginger, chopped garlic, chopped onion, soy sauce, sugar, and sake.
Stir and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
Allow the marinade to cool.
Marinate Meat:
Place the chicken pieces or sliced beef in a shallow dish.
Pour the prepared marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
For the Quick Teriyaki Marinade, marinate the meat for about 30 minutes.
Preheat Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cook Meat:
Remove the meat from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
Grill the chicken or beef over charcoal or on the grill until cooked through, basting often with the remaining marinade.
For chicken, this usually takes about 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pieces.
For beef, grill until the desired doneness is reached.
Serve:
Once cooked, transfer the teriyaki chicken or beef to a serving platter.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Pair this Teriyaki Chicken with a light-bodied red wine such as Pinot Noir or a medium-bodied white wine like Riesling. Both will complement the sweet and savory flavors of the marinade.
