Chicken teriyaki
I have said it before, and I'll say it again, but a good majority of Japanese cooking can be done with 4 simple seasonings, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake. When these 4 ingredients are combined in varying ratios you can get many different sauces, teriyaki sauce is a good example. Lots of Americans know this sauce, and you can buy bottles of premade sauce at almost any market. It is the common word that is used when a chain restaurant or fast food place wants to add an exotic twist to their menu, either that or a pineapple slice. These teriyaki sauces have a different consistency and tastes then the basic sauce. usually its additional spices of flavorings. These additions, at least to me, make the sauce less like a teriyaki and more like something else.
