Authentic Japanese Cooking: Teriyaki Chicken

Overview

In this episode, Chef Saito will be making teriyaki chicken, a Japanese standard. Teriyaki is a distinctly Japanese style of cooking, where a soy sauce-based sweet and savory sauce is added to foods being pan-fried or grilled to coat them. This style of cooking is becoming well known worldwide, and Chef Saito will explain the basics. And for our side dish, nothing says fall in Japan quite like salmon, so we'll also be making salmon rice, full of plenty of other fall ingredients too, like mushrooms, Japanese herbs, and mitsuba trefoil.
