About Teriyaki pork loin

Teriyaki pork loin is a dish derived from Japanese cuisine, where teriyaki refers to a cooking technique that involves grilling or broiling foods with a marinade or glaze made typically of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Pork loin is a lean and tender cut of pork, offering a rich protein source. A standard serving of teriyaki pork loin (3 oz) typically provides around 170-200 calories, 20-25 grams of protein, and 5-7 grams of fat depending on preparation. While the teriyaki glaze can add flavor, it may also increase sodium and sugar content, so moderation is key when including this in a balanced diet.
