You should already know by now I love Asian flavors and cuisine. From marinating, to dipping and tossing, Asian inspired sauces and dips never disappoint. No doubt, I definitely love these flavors because they usually have a sweet and salty combination. And I don’t know about you, but that is my weakness. This Easy Asian Marinade is easy, flavorful and you can use it in a multitude of ways.
EASY ASIAN MARINADE: the everything sauce
So, what goes into this delicious concoction you ask? It’s pretty straight forward and simple. It’s pretty much a blend of fresh and earthy aromatics paired with warm vinegars and sweet liquid condiments. I love spicy everything, so you will notice I am using Thai chili’s and a full teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. The Thai chili’s are completely optional. And, you can cut that amount of pepper flakes in half or omit it completely if you’re not a fan of spice or if you’re serving children.
More often than not, I use this marinade for exactly that, marinating meats, poultry, seafood and vegetables. But, it doesn’t end there. This marinade also doubles as a salad dressing or a finishing sauce over grilled steak, chicken or fish. It’s pretty much an everything sauce, use it as you please.
