Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy, rice wine vinegar, chili sauce, ginger, garlic, scallions and orange zest. Place the pork in a large container or bowl and pour the marinade over the pork. Cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Remove the pork from the container, put the marinade in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and reserve it for drizzling over the pork when serving. *WARNING: This liquid MUST be brought to a boil to kill any bacteria from raw meat juices.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Dust the pork liberally with the ground coriander seed and place on the preheated grill. Brown it on all sides then move it to a cooler part of the grill to cook it to desired doneness, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the pork from the grill to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice the pork on the bias and place on a serving platter. Serve drizzled with the reserved boiled soy marinade.
- Pork- the other white meat!
BEK'S GRILLED MAHI MAHI FILLETS IN SOY GINGER MARINADE (OAMC)
This is a mild, Asian-inspired marinade that complements the mild flavor of Mahi Mahi. Great summer dish, I'm sure it would be good on any mild fish. OAMC chefs, double or triple the marinade as needed and freeze in family-sized portions - I use my vacuum sealer. **As with many of my original recipes, the ingredient amounts are approximate. Adjust to your preferences. As always, let me know if you make any substitutions or tweaks - I always like new ways to try old favorites! (Cooking time does not include marinating time.)

Tips:
- When choosing ginger for your marinade, opt for fresh ginger root over ground ginger powder. Fresh ginger provides a more intense and flavorful taste.
- If you don't have access to fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger powder instead. However, use only half the amount of ground ginger powder as you would fresh ginger, as it is more concentrated.
- Be sure to grate or mince the ginger finely before adding it to your marinade. This will help the ginger flavor evenly distribute throughout the marinade and coat the meat more effectively.
- When preparing the marinade, whisk all of the ingredients together vigorously until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. This will help ensure that the marinade is evenly flavored.
- Allow the meat to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- When grilling the meat, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help prevent the marinade from burning and will allow the meat to cook evenly.
