Grey Pilgrim : 8/12/2022 12:09 pm
I"m familiar with Emerils Original Essence, but not much else.

Also, anyone know of a good teriyaki sauce?

TIA

Dizzy Pig. They make a bunch of different seasonings. I'm partial to Swamp Venom. You can get it on amazon.

If you are looking for premade seasonings?

I would suggest looking at Penzeys Spices. They carry a wide variety of blends and ground spices many of which are salt free so you can add sodium as you see fit. Another is mrsdash which is more budget friendly and salt free. I generally make my own spice blends but always have a few of each in the pantry for quick meals.

As far as teriyaki goes you are better off making your own Imo. You can control the sodium depending on the soy you use. Imo Tamari is the best and gluten free as well less sodium than Kikkoman. And you can make different styles, traditional Japanese style does not contain pineapple but the more known version in the US has pineapple.
I'm obsessed with this stuff...

I was just going to post recommending Penzeys. Lately I have been really enjoying their Turkish Seasoning. It tastes just like the NYC Halal street vendors. Awesome on grilled chicken breasts or boneless thighs. Salmon too.

Trader Joe's "Everything but the Bagel" seasoning is great too. On eggs, chicken, fish or even steak.

Creole seasoning.

And gochugaru kicks ass too. My mother in law bought some “kimchi seasoning” that’s supposed to taste like kimchi in powder form. Haven’t tried it yet.
Grey- I’ve sworn by Kikkoman’s high end sauce for years .

Just to add, it’s somewhat thick so it sticks to the food

unless most other watery teriyaki sauces.
Homemade teriyaki  
JB_in_DC : 8/12/2022 2:45 pm : link
is worth the effort in my opinion.

INGREDIENTS
½ cup sake
½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup mirin
3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar

Combine the sake, soy sauce, mirin and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a light boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens and a raft of tan foam bubbles on the surface, 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat and use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. When ready to use, reheat until warm and runny, and drizzle over grilled, seared or broiled salmon, sablefish, yellowtail, chicken, pork, steak, tofu, eggplant, asparagus, broccoli, or summer or winter squash. Use as a seasoning to mix into meatballs or patties.
