In my never ending quest to bring new flavors to the table I came upon this recipe in a decade old copy of Cooking Light. I have tried it with chicken but think it might work just as well with pork or even tofu. I've played with the balance of ingredients to suit my own tastes. The ginger gives a bit of heat to balance the sweetness of the molasses, but if you want more a dash of red pepper flakes would work. Ingredients:
1/4 cup dark molasses |
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce (not regular as the finished dish will be unpleasantly salty) |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Combine with selected meat and marinade for 2 to 24 hours. This is enough marinade for 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of meat. 2. Remove meat from marinade, draining excess liquid. 3. Cook as desired. Grilling (indoor or outdoor) or broiling suggested. |
