Why American Teriyaki Chicken Isn't Actually Teriyaki
I went into this video assuming American teriyaki and Japanese teriyaki were essentially the same dish. After three months researching American recipes, Kikkoman history, the Hawaiian and Seattle splits, and a stack of Japanese-language sources, I discovered these two dishes share a name and nothing else. The American version is good, and millions of people make some version of it every week. It's just not teriyaki by definition. You'll see both cooked side by side. Japanese teriyaki uses a four-ingredient sauce and a technique most American recipes skip entirely. We also turn the chicken bones into banno-dare, an all-purpose Japanese sauce that home cooks keep in the fridge year-round.
