Good teriyaki is when you get that sticky, brown and sweet meat. Nice fluffy rice to serve and some steamed greens to balance the sweet and savory. I like to add my teriyaki sauce slowly in the cooking process, so I don`t get to burn it and have it bitter. It takes a bit longer, but you can use the time to cook the greens and rice 🙂
