All-Purpose Asian Marinade

Quick, easy, yet delicious. This recipe uses Asian aromatics with soy sauce and/or hoisin sauce.

What I believe is the most unique ingredient here is the very powerful ginger, containing more than 400 natural compounds! It’s good for nausea relief, bloating and gas, and fighting free radicals.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp finely minced orange zest
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2/3 cups hoisin sauce or GFCF soy sauce (1/3 cup each is great too!)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup finely minced, fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup minced green onions, including the white part
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

Preparation:

  • Prep and mince the ingredients
  • Combine everything in a mixing bowl
  • Add meat to the marinade
  • Cover, refrigerate, and let marinate for at least 4 hours (overnight is great too!)
  • Yields 2 1/2 cups, enough marinade for 2 pork tenderloins or 6 chicken breasts.

GFCF, SF, EF, DF
