Ginger And Sesame Marinade

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 5 in fresh gingerroot, peeled and grated
• 4 tablespoons lime juice or 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce or 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar

Recipe

• 1 the marinade- put the ginger in a fine sieve, or a sieve lined with muslin, and press the juice into a bowl.
• 2 you need to extract 7 tbs ginger juice – add a little water to the ginger pulp and squeeze again if necessary. add the remaining ingredients, except the sugar, and stir to mix.
• 3 put the meat or seafood in a non-metallic shallow dish and rub the marinade all over. for meat, cover and leave in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. fish and shrimp only need marinating for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• 4 remember to give the marinated food at least 20 minutes to return to room temperature before cooking.
• 5 to cook- while cooking the food, season and baste it with the marinade. before brushing the final few strokes on, add the sugar and stir to dissolve; this helps glaze the food, but if the sugar is added too soon, it will burn and stick.
