April 26, 2016 at 9:20 amSir medyo mahal po kasi ang rice wine, pwede po bang hindi lagyan ng sake sa pag gawa ng teriyaki sauce? ano po ba magiging result or lasa nun? Ty
Vanjo Merano says
April 26, 2016 at 10:09 pmPaulo, importante and sake or mirin sa paggawa ng authentic teriyaki sauce dahil nakakatulog ito sa pangkalahatang lasa ng sauce. Pwede naman na walang sake, pero sayang naman dahil hindi mo matitikman ang dapat sanang lasa ng sauce.
