The word TERIYAKI derives from the noun teri (η
§γ), which refers to a shine or luster given by the sugar content in the tare, and yaki (ηΌγ) refers to
the cooking method of grilling or broiling. Teriyaki is Japanese cuisine in which foods are grilled in a sweet soy sauce marinade. WOK menus include dishes cooked in a versatile round-bottomed cooking utensil popular in Asian cooking, where its uses include stir-frying, steaming, braising, stewing and even deep-frying. The curved concave shape of wok produces a small, hot area at the bottom which allows some of the food to be cooked by intense heat while using relatively little oil. Bite-sized or finely chopped stir-fry ingredients usually toss and tumble back to the center of the wok while cooking. - Wikipedia
