Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, orange zest, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Taste the marinade and adjust for sweetness, saltiness, or spice as desired by adding a little more honey, soy sauce, or red pepper flakes.
Use immediately to marinate chicken, fish, pork, tofu, or vegetables. For best results, marinate your protein or produce for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
Leftover marinade can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it should not be reused if it has come into contact with raw protein.
