This marinade is perfect for enhancing the flavor of your favorite meats, combining a balance of savory and sweet notes.
Peel and mince the fresh garlic cloves.
Mincing garlic releases its oils, enhancing the flavor of the marinade.
Grate the fresh ginger.
Use a fine grater to ensure the ginger blends well into the marinade.
Combine the soy sauce, honey, water, minced garlic, grated ginger, and ground black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the honey dissolves completely.
Pour the marinade over your chosen meat or tofu, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Use a resealable bag for marinating to ensure even coverage and easy cleanup.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
The longer the marination time, the more flavorful the meat will be.
