After starting the main course in Thailand and then taking to a trip to Europe with the kielbasa and Dijon, we are back in the Far East – Japan.

I made a Teriyaki sauce that I used for marinating and dipping. If you do this, DO NOT REUSE THE SAUCE. Make two batches and use one for each, else you may be inviting problems. I decided to take boneless and skinless chicken thighs and each guest had 1/2 a thigh. It was delicious.

This is a very easy sauce to make. I’ve seen some recipes without the pineapple juice and can’t imagine making them as the juice adds both sweetness and flavor.

Giving the mirin a boil.

Adding the rest and cook.
