Marinade Ingredients

GINGER & GARLIC This sauce is the perfect blend of pungent garlic and peppery ginger, with a few colorful pops of red pepper flakes.

SALTY & SWEET Sweet brown sugar and salty soy sauce have contrasting flavors that add layers of flavor against the garlic and ginger!

ACID & FAT The olive oil and lemon juice work together as a tenderizer for salmon, chicken, steak, or pork. It even works well for fish like grilled salmon.

2. Add your choice of meat & refrigerate for between 2 & 4 hours.

How to Use Ginger Soy Marinade

This versatile marinade can also be used as a different sauce for sautéed green beans or broccoli. Brush over corn on the cob before grilling! It’s delicious as a sauce for pork stir fry with rice. Or use it to dip some Air Fryer Egg Rolls to give them just the right touch!

Recipe Tips

• Fresh garlic and ginger are key to achieving the distinctive flavors of this marinade, and both are inexpensive and available year-round.
• Finely mince both the garlic and the ginger or use a micro-plane grater to make the job easier!
• Freeze extra minced or grated ginger and use it in stirfries, cakes, and especially cocktails!

Leftovers

As long as it hasn’t been used, soy ginger marinade will keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days as long as it’s in a tightly sealed container. Give it a vigorous shake before using to get the ingredients to blend again.

Freeze soy-ginger marinade in ice cube trays and store cubes in a zippered bag with the date written on the outside. Pop out a cube or two for soups, stews, or stir-fries!
