"Hi I'm Noe for Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make teriyaki chicken and teriyaki beef. This recipe came to me from my mom who was born and raised in Hawaii and this is her recipe. I have been making it since I was a kid. In order to get started, we are going to gather together all of the ingredients that we need. So you have to start with soy sauce and the best kind if Kikkoman; at least I think so. Other items that they sell her I think have least of a flavor but the next thing that we need is some sugar. We need a few cloves of garlic preferable nice big ones like this. Some ginger root; this ginger root I bought at the farmers market at Hawaii so it's from Hawaii. Some left over white wine here and some water. Oh and we must of not forget, once in a while it is nice to use something that you have grown yourself so I'm going to add these chili peppers. This is a typical Hawaiian chili pepper. By tomorrow it would be a little bit more red and then I would go ahead and pick it. Today we are going to use a couple of these for the beef teriyaki. That is all we need. "
