When I showtime got to San Francisco, having come upward from a real modest town inwards Western New York, it was similar arriving on around other planet. I was fascinated past times the amazing diversity of foods together with cultures, together with began exploring them all. Growing up, my identify unit of measurement together with I had made the occasional trip to the local Americanized Chinese eating theatre which was e'er an exotic treat, but forthwith I was getting the existent stuff; Thai, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, I couldn’t acquire enough! At the same fourth dimension I every bit good became interested inwards the eastern religious philosophies, Buddhism, Zen, etc., which for a onetime modify man child was quite the experience. This was every bit good when I learned close the Zen “koan.”For those of you lot non familiar, a koan is basically a question, riddle, or even that has no obvious answer. It is used past times Zen masters to learn or enlighten their students. Most of you lot bring heard the most famous koan, “Two hands clap together with at that topographic point is a sound; but what is the audio of 1 hand?” What a cracking idea… learn students past times making them fifty-fifty to a greater extent than confused! Well, since I’m doing Teriyaki today I decided to bring a piffling fun at the cease of the demo amongst a koan or 2 of my own.
A viewer to our site, Connie, had asked for a teriyaki recipe. So I did around research. I had enjoyed teriyaki many times, but e'er at Japanese restaurants. If I had made it at home, I in all probability simply bought a bottle of teriyaki sauce together with brushed it on around chicken. So, today’s clip is the truthful authentic version (which, of course, at that topographic point are several sources giving dissimilar versions of what the “original” recipe is). I’m real glad I did it, but I’m non certain why. By the way, the term teriyaki comes from of 2 Japanese words "teri" together with "yaki." Teri refers to the smooth or luster of the glazed sauce, together with yaki agency to broil or grill the meat. Prepare to move enlightened… you’ve been warned.
