Sticky, Saucy, and Satisfying
Teriyaki is a classic Japanese cooking style that originated in the 17th-century Edo period, combining “teri” (meaning glossy) and “yaki” (to grill or broil). Traditionally, meat or fish is glazed with a soy-based sauce and cooked to achieve a glossy, caramelised finish. Over time, it has become a globally recognised flavour profile, prized for its balance of sweet, savoury, and umami notes. In this dish, our tender and juicy [MOCK]® Chicken Pieces are finished in a rich teriyaki glaze and served over steamed rice - ideal for chefs looking to bring bold, Japanese flavour to meat-free menus.
