SWEET AND TANGY MARINADE



Sweet and Tangy Marinade image

This marinade makes enough for up to 6 lbs of ribs, or a whole small chicken. There is no oil in it to add to the fat from the meat. You could also marinate fish or vegetables in it, the acid would probably 'cook' the fish a little. (Be sure to follow safe handling rules and never consume raw marinade that has had uncooked meat or fish in it.) I used this to flavour some pork ribs that I then braised in the oven in a cast iron Dutch oven, sprinkled with a little more 'Brownulated' sugar to make a crunchy crust.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: This marinade is best suited for chicken, pork, or beef. Avoid using fish or seafood, as the acidity of the marinade can overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the marinade will taste. Use fresh ginger, garlic, and lemongrass for the best flavor.
  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the meat, the more flavorful it will be. However, do not marinate for more than 24 hours, as the acidity of the marinade can start to break down the meat.
  • Use a non-reactive bowl: When marinating the meat, use a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bowl. Avoid using aluminum or cast iron bowls, as they can react with the acidity of the marinade and alter the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the meat over high heat: When cooking the marinated meat, use high heat to quickly sear the outside and lock in the flavor. This will also help to prevent the marinade from burning.

Conclusion:

This sweet and tangy Asian marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite meats. With its blend of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, this marinade is sure to please everyone at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a flavorful marinade, give this one a try.
