About Molho teriyaki

Molho Teriyaki, or Teriyaki Sauce, is a sweet and savory glaze originating from Japanese cuisine. It is typically made from a combination of soy sauce, sugar, mirin (a sweet rice wine), and sometimes additional seasonings such as ginger and garlic. Nutritionally, Teriyaki Sauce is high in sodium due to the soy sauce and contains carbohydrates from the sugar and mirin, offering a simple energy source. Some versions may include additional nutrients depending on the recipe, such as trace amounts of magnesium and iron from the soy sauce. While it is a flavorful addition to dishes like grilled meats, stir-fries, or vegetables, it is best consumed in moderation due to its high sodium and sugar content.
