Teriyaki Peanut Chicken
with Green Beans and Basmati Rice
Widely used in Japanese barbecue dishes, teriyaki's name comes from the Japanese word 'teri', meaning 'shine', referring to the sauce's glazing quality, and 'yaki' meaning grilled. Teriyaki's salty-sweet flavour makes it the perfect sauce to glaze meat and tofu, as an addition to stir-fries, or in dipping sauces.
