Adapted from Steve Raichlen's Barbecue Bible Sauces Rubs and Marinades, this is a quick Asian marinade with tons of fresh, lively flavors. Enough to season about 2 pounds of meat.
3slicesginger1/4" thick, lightly smashed with a meat mallet
3cloves garlicminced
2scallionssmashed and roughly chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the tamari, mirin and honey, stirring until the honey is dissolved. Add the dark sesame oil, ginger sices, garlic and scallions. Whisk to combine.
Pour over your pork, beef, poultry, seafood or vegetables and marinate. For large pieces of meat, 6-8 hours of marinading time is appropriate. For smaller cuts like pork chops or chicken pieces, 2-4 hours is enough and for very small protein (i.e. shrimp) 30-60 minutes is fine.
Notes
Makes a scant cup of marinade. This recipe can be doubled.
