Teriyaki is a way to cook Japanese food that is heated or baked and coated with soy sauce and flavored sake/mirin/sugar. While making teriyaki, the ingredients to be baked are dipped and smeared with teriyaki sauce several times until they are fully cooked.

The difference from the original recipe is because we are Muslims, we don’t use sake and mirin. Therefore, we replace it with sugar and vinegar. In this recipe, we omit the vinegar.
