Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh grapefruit juice
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine fresh grapefruit juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and honey. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Peel and grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the bowl with the liquid mix.
Stir in rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil, mixing thoroughly to combine all flavors.
In a small separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the grapefruit teriyaki mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the marinade thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely before using.
Use the marinade on your choice of protein or vegetables. For best results, marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the cooked dish for extra flavor and texture.
