 This
is one of the recipes from Mrs Susie. If
you want to find out more about her have a look
at her
biography page which she has written.
Mrs Susie specialises in Oriental cooking. An
important first step in Oriental cooking (which
I think is important) is at the end of each recipe.
To
find out the basic requirements for making Teriyaki
have a look at 'Japanese
Teriyaki'
under Tips,etc.
"The
word, teriyaki is a combination of two Japanese
words "teri" and "yaki." Teri means luster and
yaki means grill or broil".

Method
- Mix
the meat mixture and then add sauce.
- Make
into patties and broil or pan fry until done
Did somebody say McDonald's . . . NAH!!!
To
prepare ahead of time:
This sauce can be completed in the morning, left
at room temperature, then added to the meat half
an hour before cooking.
It is very ono (delicious) cold the next day.
Enjoy!

"I
have studied oriental cooking quite a bit and the one
thing that makes it different from other styles of cooking
is: it is 90% preparation and 10% cooking. It is very
important to have everything in the recipe already prepared
for cooking before you start cooking.
I
take a plate and cut up my ingredients as called for
in the recipe and place them on different parts of the
plate. Only then do I think about cooking. I will put
my oil in the pan and, as the things are called for
in the recipe, I will sweep them into whatever pan I
am cooking with, cook for as long as called for, then
add the next ingredient.
Oriental
cooking happens so fast. To stop and cut up the garlic
(for example) if I had the ginger cooking in the pan
would result in burnt ginger before the garlic is finished.
When
I am cooking a ten or fifteen course dinner you should
see my kitchen. I have plates all over and all my sauces
mixed in bowls and everything is ready to cook before
I start cooking. This is the right way to do it and
necessary to have a well-timed dinner.
Another
thing, get yourself a good cleaver that will not rust.
You will be surprised how much you will use this for
all your cooking, not just oriental cooking. Do yourself
a favor and get a good one. I think I paid $20 for mine
but again that was 20 years ago".
