Bavarian-style Teriyaki

Ingredients

While the original Japanese Teriyaki is typically made with soy sauce, mirin, and sake, our Bavarian-style Teriyaki incorporates Bavarian beer and mustard to add a distinct flavor profile. Additionally, we have replaced the traditional Japanese ingredients like ginger and garlic with Bavarian spices such as caraway and nutmeg to enhance the Bavarian essence of the dish.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Bavarian mustard — Use a medium-spicy Bavarian mustard for a balanced flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, opt for a sweet Bavarian mustard.
• Caraway seeds — Toast the caraway seeds in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding them to the sauce to release their aromatic oils.
• Chicken breasts — Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking to ensure they cook evenly and remain juicy.
• Honey — Use a local Bavarian honey for a touch of sweetness that complements the savory flavors of the dish.
