Ginger Garlic Marinade

By KeyIngredient

The marinade offers a mild ginger flavour once cooked on your favourite fish, chicken or pork dish. The deep rich colour comes from the soy sauce, which offers up its salty flavour. It is all balanced with the tang of the vinegar and slight sweetness of honey that also helps caramelize the meat as it grills.
If you like the exotic flavour of fresh ginger, be sure to enjoy the dressing version (recipe follows) of this marinade.
