How to Make Asian Marinade

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients until well combined.
  2. Place 1 pound of meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables in a zipper-lock bag or shallow, non-reactive dish.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup of marinade over the contents. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
  4. Gently turn the bag or stir the dish occasionally to ensure even marinade distribution. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  5. Preheat grill or prepare cooking method to your desired temperature.
  6. Remove meat from marinade; place on grill or cooking surface. Top each piece of meat with 1 small sprig of fresh rosemary just before cooking.
  7. Grill or cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for poultry.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
