How to Make Five Spice Marinade
- In a medium glass bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and ½ teaspoon minced garlic.
- Add 1.5 lbs of your choice of protein (chicken breast, beef sirloin, pork tenderloin, or firm tofu), cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Gently stir to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor infusion.
- Preheat your grill, skillet, or oven to medium-high heat.
- Remove the meat from the marinade (reserve marinade) and cook until thoroughly cooked through and slightly charred (about 4-6 minutes per side for chicken, adjust for other proteins).
- For extra flavor, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved marinade to the pan during the last minute of cooking to create a delicious glaze.
- Serve immediately over rice with your favorite steamed or roasted vegetables.
