Notes

Yield: Approximately 1 cup of marinade.

Storage Tip: Store any leftover marinade (not in contact with raw meat) in the refrigerator for up to six weeks. Label properly for future use.

Note: Allergic to soy sauce? An excellent substitute is Bragg Liquid Aminos. It’s not soy, but it looks just like soy sauce and tastes like it too! I use it to marinate, and it has the same tenderizing properties as soy sauce. I get it at my local Costco. Also available are Coco Aminos from Amazon.

Safety Tip: If some of the marinade is to be used as a sauce on the cooked food, reserve a portion of the marinade before putting raw meat or poultry in it. However, if the marinade used on raw meat or poultry is to be reused, make sure to let it come to a boil first to destroy any harmful bacteria.
