Terryaki – Sweet & Savory Teriyaki Seasoning & Dry Rub

Sweet pineapple. Savory soy. Toasty sesame. A little ginger. A whole lot of Pawpa Flavor!

Bring the irresistible flavors of teriyaki to your kitchen with Pawpa Flavor Bearly Legal Terryaki, a sweet and savory teriyaki seasoning and dry rub inspired by Pawpa Bear's original homemade teriyaki marinade.

Terryaki combines rich soy sauce flavor with pineapple, brown sugar, garlic, onion, sesame seeds and ginger to create a delicious balance of sweet, savory, tangy, nutty and umami-rich flavors.

Unlike traditional bottled teriyaki sauces, Terryaki gives you the freedom to season, rub, marinate or create your own sauce using one versatile dry blend.

From grilled chicken and beef skewers to pork tenderloin, shrimp, salmon, stir-fries and vegetables, Terryaki brings incredible flavor to practically anything you put on the grill or in the kitchen.

And yes, we meant to spell it Terryaki!

Why? Because Terry is Pawpa Bear's middle name, and this seasoning is based on his original teriyaki marinade recipe.

What Can You Season With Terryaki?

Chicken and Poultry

Terryaki is fantastic on grilled chicken thighs, breasts, wings, drumsticks and turkey. Its sweet and savory flavor works especially well with chicken cooked over charcoal or wood.

Beef and Steak

Add rich teriyaki flavor to steak bites, tri-tip, flank steak, beef skewers, burgers and stir-fried beef.

Pork and Ribs

Bring a sweet pineapple and soy glaze-inspired flavor to pork chops, tenderloin, pulled pork, ribs and pork belly.

Shrimp and Seafood

Season grilled shrimp, salmon, tuna, scallops and seafood skewers with a delicious combination of soy, pineapple, sesame and ginger.

Stir-Fries and Rice Bowls

Add Terryaki to chicken, beef, tofu or vegetable stir-fries, fried rice and rice bowls for an easy flavor boost.

Roasted and Grilled Vegetables

Sprinkle over broccoli, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers and asparagus for a savory-sweet finish.

Tofu and Plant-Based Dishes

Give tofu, mushrooms and plant-based proteins a rich teriyaki flavor with a simple dry seasoning or marinade.

Homemade Marinades and Sauces

Pawpa Bear's Terryaki Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Sweet. Savory. A little tropical. Absolutely delicious!

Bring the flavors of a backyard teriyaki grill to your next cookout with these easy Terryaki pineapple chicken skewers.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into approximately 1½-inch pieces

• ½ cup Pawpa Flavor Terryaki Seasoning

• 1 cup water

• 1–2 tablespoons sesame oil

• 1–2 tablespoons rice vinegar

• ¼ cup soy sauce, optional for a stronger savory flavor

• 1–2 cups fresh pineapple chunks

• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

• 1 small red onion, cut into chunks

• Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Directions

1. Whisk together the water, Terryaki seasoning, sesame oil and rice vinegar. Add the optional soy sauce if desired.

2. Place the chicken in a food-safe container or resealable bag and pour in the marinade.

3. Refrigerate for 3–12 hours, turning occasionally for even flavor.

4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade.

5. Thread chicken, pineapple, bell pepper and red onion onto skewers, alternating ingredients.

6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

7. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

8. Remove from the grill, rest briefly and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

9. Serve over steamed rice or alongside your favorite grilled vegetables.

Pawpa Bear's Tip: Want that sticky, glossy teriyaki finish? Make a separate batch of Terryaki sauce using fresh ingredients. Simmer it gently and thicken with a cornstarch slurry, then brush it over the chicken during the final minutes of grilling. Never use marinade that has touched raw chicken as a finishing sauce unless it has been brought to a full boil.

Make Your Own Terryaki Marinade or Sauce

One of the best things about Terryaki is how easily it transforms from a dry seasoning into a flavorful marinade or glaze.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water

• ½ cup Pawpa Flavor Terryaki Seasoning

• ¼ cup soy sauce, optional

• 1–2 tablespoons sesame oil

• 1–2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Directions:

1. Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.

2. Use as a marinade for chicken, beef, pork or seafood, keeping everything refrigerated.

3. For a sauce, prepare a fresh batch and simmer gently over medium heat.

4. Add a cornstarch slurry a little at a time until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.

5. Brush over grilled meats or vegetables, drizzle over rice bowls or serve as a dipping sauce.

Pawpa Bear's Tip: Because Terryaki already contains soy sauce powder, you may not need the additional soy sauce. Start without it, taste your freshly prepared sauce and adjust to your preference.
