- Teriyaki sauce is a popular Japanese sauce that is used to flavor a variety of dishes. It is made by combining soy sauce, sake or mirin, sugar, and ginger.
- Chicken broth - The best type of chicken stock to use is one that is homemade. For canned stock, I look for ones that say reduced sodium or fat free.
- Brown sugar - Is made by combining granulated white sugar with molasses, which gives it a brown color and a slightly different taste than regular white sugar.
- Garlic, chopped - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.
- Red chile pepper, finely chopped or used crushed red pepper flakes!
- Black pepper - to taste
