How to Make Oriental Sesame Marinade
- Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1/4 cup sesame seeds and toast, swirling frequently, until light golden brown and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and let the sesame seeds cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cooled sesame seeds, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
- Add your protein of choice (at least 1 pound) to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
- Grill, stir-fry, or bake according to your preferred cooking method.
