Yakiniku sauce is used as follows:
For yakiniku: It is an essential part of yakiniku preparation. During grilling, pieces of meat and vegetables are dipped into the sauce or the sauce is used to coat the meat while grilling.
For other dishes: Yakiniku sauce can also be used to flavor other dishes such as fried or grilled foods.
The history of Yakiniku sauce dates back to the 20th century, when it was created to accompany yakiniku. Yakiniku first appeared in Japan after World War II and was influenced by Western barbecue culture. As yakiniku became popular in restaurants and homes, the need for a special sauce to enhance the flavor of meat and vegetables during grilling arose. Yakiniku sauce was designed to balance sweetness, saltiness, umami and spiciness to best enhance the flavor of grilled meats.
