Green, yellow, red and orange vegetables make these teriyaki grilled veggies look amazing. The teriyaki sauce is strong enough just to be added to the vegetables, rather than used as a marinade, and gives a fantastic Asian flavor to these vegetable kabobs.
Teriyaki sauce is an authentic Japanese recipe but it is a common ingredient in some modern Western and Mexican recipes too. For a more authentic teriyaki sauce, you might want to add some shredded ginger to the teriyaki before using it on the vegetables, to give more flavor. You can make your own teriyaki sauce by stirring ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup sake, 2 tablespoons of mirin wine and a tablespoon of white sugar on the hob over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
