SWORDFISH SKEWERS WITH CURRIED RICE - TM & TRADITIONAL METHOD

A super delicious and easy to prepare recipe. Teriyaki is a popular sauce in Japanese cuisine, whether you are cooking fish, chicken or beef. The word teriyaki refers to a cooking method and combines the words "teri", meaning bright or shiny, and "yaki", meaning grilled or broiled. Teriyaki cooking methods have been used for centuries, beginning in the Tokugawa (or Edo) period. The trick in this recipe is not to let the fish dry out. This is a recipe adapted from the Thermomix, but can easily be cooked without it. See instructions at the bottom of the page.
