It entails glazing the dish with a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, and then broiling or grilling it. The arrival of Japanese settlers in Hawaii resulted in the creation of a new sauce that was similar to the original but contained a native ingredient: pineapple. Along the way, a sauce that is similar to teriyaki sauce in that it is sweet, savory, and thick developed into what is now sold in grocery stores and restaurants in the United States.
