Ginger Soy Marinade
Description
This Ginger Soy Marinade mixes fundamental Asian-inspired ingredients including brown sugar for sweetness and depth, soy sauce for saltiness and umami, and vegetable oil to help coat and tenderize the meat. Fresh ginger and garlic bring pungency and brightness, while lemon juice adds acidity to help tenderize proteins further and balance the marinade. Red pepper flakes contribute a subtle heat, and green onions provide a mild onion note.
Marinating meat for 2 to 4 hours allows the flavors to meld and penetrate, preparing it for cooking by imparting flavor and some tenderness. The method is straightforward: combine all ingredients in a bowl or bag, add the meat, and let it rest refrigerated.
Discard the used marinade after marinating to avoid cross-contamination and maintain food safety.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl or freezer bag.
- Add beef, chicken or pork. Marinate 2-4 hours.
Notes
- Marinate beef, chicken, or pork for 2 to 4 hours to allow proper flavor absorption without over-tenderizing.
- Discard any leftover marinade that has been in contact with raw meat to maintain food safety.
