Tuna Grilled Korean-Style image

This aromatic marinade is used to flavor and tenderize beef in Korean cuisine. Do not marinate this longer than two hours, as the enzymes in ginger can over-tenderize the fish.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup light soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
3 tablespoons sugar
