I get a lot of questions about swapping rice vinegar for sake in teriyaki, and I usually explain that traditional teriyaki isn’t meant to be sour. That said, I love a tangy edge to sauces, and I’ve been known to sneak a splash into my teriyaki sauce. In Japan, there’s a family of sauces called […]| Marc's Recipes

Its thickness, especially in strained versions like Greek yogurt, gives marinades body and creates a protective coating that helps lock in moisture. That […]| Marc's Recipes
After a long day of shooting in Osaka last week, I stumbled onto a stunning izakaya and managed to catch last order.

My chicken […]| Marc's Recipes
