About This Dish

Teriyaki Sauce is the finishing sauce for the grilled chicken at Panda Express, available as a packet at 70 calories per serving. It is the second heaviest condiment on the menu and the one that turns a plain grilled entree into the dish people order by name.

Dark, glossy and thickened just enough to coat, it is built on soy sauce and sugar with garlic and ginger behind them. Poured over Grilled Teriyaki Chicken at 275 calories, it does the work the grill cannot: sweetness, salt and a lacquered finish in one ladle. On its own it tastes sharper than the glazes cooked into the wok dishes, since nothing has diluted it.

At 70 calories with 16 g of carbs and 380 mg of sodium, the packet is worth counting on any tracked meal. It is also the single most useful modification on the menu: asking for teriyaki on the side rather than poured lets you control both numbers on an entree that is otherwise the leanest protein in the store. Published flags are wheat and soy, the wheat arriving through the soy sauce base.

How much is Teriyaki Sauce? Packets come with appropriate orders at no charge in most stores, and extras are available on request.

It suits the grilled chicken it was made for, and it works on plain white rice at 520 calories when an order needs seasoning. For lower calorie options at the sauce station, Soy Sauce at 5 calories and Hot Mustard at 10 calories cost almost nothing by comparison.

Tips

  • Do not boil hard; sugar scorches fast and turns the sauce bitter.
  • Strain out the aromatics for a smoother, glossier finish.
  • Keeps a month refrigerated and works on salmon, tofu and roasted vegetables.

Variations

  • Add a tablespoon of chili paste for spicy teriyaki.
  • Pineapple juice in place of mirin gives a fruitier profile.
  • Double the ginger for a sharper, fresher sauce.

Serve it with: Over grilled chicken and rice, brushed on salmon in the last minutes, or as a glaze for roasted vegetables.
