30 Japanese meat dishes, chicken, pork, beef and lamb. Before your trip to Japan!

beef

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and often less expensive than beef.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar

💰Cheaper: white sugar + water

Rice vinegar provides acidity without the sweetness of mirin.

sake

🥗Healthier: cooking wine

💰Cheaper: white grape juice

Cooking wine can be a more accessible alternative.

tofu

🥗Healthier: tempeh

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Tempeh offers a protein-rich alternative to tofu.

Combine 30 g of soy sauce, 30 g of mirin, 30 g of sake, and 15 g of sugar in a bowl to make the teriyaki sauce.

Adjust the amounts of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar based on the fat content of the meat being used.

If using less fatty ingredients, reduce the amount of sugar.

If not using alcohol, substitute ginger for mirin and sake.

Marinate the meat in the sauce for at least two days for better flavor absorption.

Cook the marinated meat in a pan or on charcoal.
