Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (grated) fresh ginger
- 0.25 cup dark rum
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated ginger, dark rum, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and olive oil.
Add the minced garlic, red chili flakes, and black pepper to the bowl, and whisk the mixture until well combined.
Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, ensuring it will evenly coat your protein or vegetables.
Add your meat, seafood, or vegetables to the marinade and ensure they are fully submerged or well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for a deeper flavor.
Remove your food from the marinade (discarding excess marinade), and proceed with your chosen cooking method, such as grilling, roasting, or pan-frying, as desired.
