Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
-
Combine the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the soy sauce, ketchup, lemon juice, vinegar, pepper, freshly grated ginger, and garlic powder. Stir until all ingredients are well blended, creating a harmonious and aromatic marinade.
-
Prepare the Marinade: Pour the mixture into a large zip-type plastic bag. This bag will serve as your marinating vessel, ensuring all of your tofu or meat is evenly coated.
-
Marinate: Add the tofu or meat to the bag. Seal the bag securely, removing as much air as possible to allow the marinade to make contact with every surface of the tofu or meat. Gently massage the bag to ensure that the marinade covers every piece thoroughly.
-
Refrigerate: Place the bag in the refrigerator and let it marinate for 8 to 12 hours. For optimal flavor, turn the bag a couple of times during this period to ensure even distribution of the marinade.
-
Marinating Tips: The tougher the cut of meat, the longer it should marinate. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, making your dish even more delightful.
-
Yield: This recipe yields enough marinade for approximately 6 steaks or one package of tofu. Adjust the quantities as needed depending on your meal size and preferences.
