- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/4 cup orange marmalade, and 1/4 cup soy sauce.

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!
