GINGER AND SESAME MARINADE

Ginger and Sesame Marinade image

Fresh ginger juice adds a particular zing to a marinade: the fragrant, hot flavour penetrates into meat, poultry, fish and seafood, while helping to tenderise at the same time. The sesame seeds in this recipe add texture, the fish sauce adds saltiness, and the sweet-and-sour blend of sugar and lime juice completes the Asian credentials of this marinade.Can be used to prepare- 4 Beef steaks or 4 Lamb steaks or 4 Pork chops or 6 Chicken breasts or 6 Fish steaks and fillets or 4 Duck breasts or 2lbs of jumbo shrimp. Time does not include marinating.

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

The marinade- Put the ginger in a fine sieve, or a sieve lined with muslin, and press the juice into a bowl.
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.
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.
Remember to give the marinated food at least 20 minutes to return to room temperature before cooking.
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.

GARLIC GINGER SESAME MARINADE

Garlic Ginger Sesame Marinade image

I've been making this marinade for 25yrs. It's always, always a big hit. You can add whatever side you like, I've made coconut lime rice and then sliced up the mushrooms and added into the rice. It's amazing. Great for grille parties with family and friends. I promise, this will be the star of the event. It's that good.

18 - 23 clove garlic
3-4 bunch scallions

Steps:

1. Add liquids soy sauce, olive oil, and seasme oil.
2. Then add dry ingredients, sugar, and black pepper, mix well. it will take a while for the sugar to disolve.
3. Then mince garlic, its usually 2-3 bulbs garlic for 18 cloves. Mince fresh ginger, and cut up scallions.
4. Add whatever meat you'd like, it works great for chicken, shrimp, steak, and if you'd prefer vegetables, it works. It's amazing with portobello mushrooms. Pictured above. Let marinade for 2 - 12hrs. Depending on how seasoned you would like your meat or veggies. Reason I list 2 - 12 hrs. I've marinated 2 hrs for a more mild flavor and longer for an explosion of flavor. If marinating several different meats, they should all be in separate bowls.
