Could anyone tell me what the above sauce is like please? We don't like curry or very highly spiced food but don't mind a certain amount of chilli and also sweet and sour so I wondered if we would like the sauce above. I have seen recipes with chicken and Terryaki Sauce and cannot afford to throw food away if we don't like it.

It tastes more like soy sauce. Not my favorite.

 

[sweetpeamo]

Not mine either. Thanks for your imput.

Teriyaki has a very hight sodium content.

It is soy with sweetness,citrus,chilli flavours. Look up a teriyaki marinade recipe to give you an idea rather than buying readimade. Then, you can make a little and if you don't like it you don't have a whole bottle of the stuff.

Thank you all for you input it is all very helpful and a good idea to make a small amount then if we don't like it we can dispose of it.

Here are the ingredients in Teriyaki Sauce
soy sauce
brown sugar
ginger
garlic
honey
sesame oil
Mirin ~ a sweet Japanese rice wine
If you don't have mirin, you can use sherry with a pinch of sugar added to it.
water
cornstarch

This should give you some idea of the flavour....

Teriyaki sauce is a sweet soy based sauce. I like it in small doses, but then I don't much like sweet sauces on my meat. Grandkids like it, though. Give it a try -- not much to lose in my opinion. I like to try new stuff -- sometimes I like it, sometimes not. You can buy teriyaki sauce already bottled up for you in the Asian section of the grocery store.

It tastes like sweet soy sauce.

I don't use much whenever I use it. Too much is just too much.

Don't know about UK but maybe if there is a Chinese restraunt near. See if you can just order a terryaki chicken wing just to try it.
In the US, Panda Express lets you taste an entrée before selecting.
But it may just be cheaper to buy the smallest bottle a grocery store.... remember don't use much.

I agree with DHobbit, if there is a Chinese or Japanese restaurant nearby, see if they offer a sample, or just buy a small serving. Alternately, if your grocery store sells hot items, sometimes you can pick up a small packet like fast food ketchup. The taste doesn't change much when it's heated.

 

[CaroleD53]

Is there not often someone handing out small samples on sticks at the food court in your local mall?

If you can find this where you live try Yoshidas Teriyaki sauce. It's pretty much a kitchen staple in the Pacific Northwest USA. People use it as a marinade or barbeque sauce. Yes, it has sodium but sometimes you just have to live and eat .
