Ginger Soy Marinade
The Ginger Soy Marinade combines brown sugar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, minced garlic, fresh ginger, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and sliced green onions to create a balanced marinade ideal for enhancing beef, chicken, or pork. It imparts a sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy flavor, perfect for infusing meat before cooking. The marinade allows the flavors to penetrate the protein for a few hours, resulting in a well-seasoned and aromatic dish.
