I have a question on the ingredients for the Teriyaki Glazed Meatballs from the Weeday Dinners Done recipe cards...

It calls for a terriyaki baste & glaze, & I'm assuming that's something different than terriyaki sauce, right?

The only thing I could find in our local grocery store (pretty small) was terriyaki sauce & marinade...so I used that. It was still good, but didn't have the "glaze" on the meatballs like in the picture...& there was a lot of juice on the bottom of the DCB still.

Any imput would be greatly appreciated!!!;)
 
I had the same exact problem, except I was trying to make the Chili-Lime Meatball in the new app cookbook (which also calls for the baste & glaze).

A few weeks later, going through some old Season's Best's I found Teriyaki Beef Fried Rice from the SB S/S 2005 and here is part of the recipe - it calls for 3/4 cup teriyaki baste and glaze. Not sure how much is needed for the meatballs, so I assume you could just adjust the measurements to come out to the qty needed.

Cook's Tip: To substitute the teriyaki baste and glaze, combine 1/2 cup thin teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup cold water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly until thickened.

Edit: I had gone to about 4-5 stores and finally found some. It wasn't until after hunting and hunting that I found the Cook's Tip, so I didn't actually try the substitution.
 
At my grocery store, the Teriyaki baste and glaze is in the ethnic food section, not with the marinades and sauces. Otherwise, the substitution sounds like it would work good.

thanks so much!!! I'm going to check a grocery store in the next town which is much larger...I'm hoping that they'll have the baste & glaze...otherwise I will definitely try the substitute next time.Thanks again :) :)
 
The Chili-Lime Meatballs are really good! :chef:And I found the items in the ethnic food section of our local Kroger Store. Big hit at my last show! Not to mention it was over $1000!!!!:sing:
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is teriyaki sauce?

Teriyaki sauce is a savory, sweet, and slightly tangy sauce made from soy sauce, mirin (or sake), sugar, and sometimes ginger and garlic. It is commonly used as a marinade or cooking sauce for meats, fish, and vegetables, imparting a rich flavor to dishes.

What is teriyaki glaze?

Teriyaki glaze is a thicker version of teriyaki sauce, often with a higher sugar content. It is typically used to coat foods, providing a shiny finish and a more concentrated flavor. The glaze is often applied towards the end of cooking to create a sticky, caramelized layer on the food.

How do the flavors differ between teriyaki sauce and teriyaki glaze?

While both teriyaki sauce and glaze share similar flavor profiles, teriyaki sauce tends to be more liquid and has a balanced flavor of sweet and salty. In contrast, teriyaki glaze is sweeter and more intense, as the reduction process concentrates the flavors, making it richer and stickier.

Can I substitute teriyaki sauce for teriyaki glaze in a recipe?

Yes, you can substitute teriyaki sauce for teriyaki glaze, but the results may vary. If using teriyaki sauce instead of glaze, you may need to adjust the cooking time to allow for evaporation and thickening, or you can simmer the sauce to reduce it before using it as a glaze.

When should I use teriyaki sauce versus teriyaki glaze?

Use teriyaki sauce when marinating or cooking meats and vegetables where a liquid sauce is desired. Opt for teriyaki glaze when you want to achieve a sticky coating or finish on grilled or roasted dishes, as it will provide a more concentrated flavor and appealing appearance.
