Honey Ginger Marinade Food

FRESH GINGER AND HONEY SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Mince ginger in a food processor (you can also do this by hand).
• Add to the food processor the honey (1/4 cup), salt (2 teaspoons), pepper (1 teaspoon), and rice vinegar (1/3 cup); pulse to combine (if not using a food processor, whisk these ingredients together in a bowl).
• While food processor is running, add oil gradually (or add oil to bowl while whisking), in order to emulsify the dressing.
• Store in an airtight container or jar for up to one month in the fridge.

HONEY-GINGER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice and zest, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reserve 3/4 cup of the marinade for later use. Pour the remaining marinade into a 2-gallon ziptop bag. Add the chicken and seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible; massage to distribute the marinade. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
• Remove the chicken wings from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the wings skin-side down on the baking sheet and spoon the marinade from the bag over the wings. Cook for 20 minutes, then flip the wings, baste with the pan drippings, rotate the pan and cook until the honey has caramelized and the skin is a dark amber, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• Pour the reserved 3/4 cup marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the liquid is thick and syrupy and turns into a glaze, about 4 minutes. Coat the wings with the thickened marinade. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with lime zest.

ASIAN GINGER GRILL MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onion, sesame seeds, and pepper until the honey has dissolved.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Remove salmon from marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

HONEY-GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add chicken to hot pan, skin side down. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Turn pieces over and bake an additional 15 minutes.
• Whisk together honey, hot sauce, soy sauce.
• Drain butter/fat from pan and pour honey mixture over the chicken and bake 15 more minutes, basting often.
• Serve hot, or refrigerate and serve chilled. (I prefer it hot next too some fluffy rice!).

HONEY-GINGER BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together all sauce ingredients in a 2- to 2 1/2-quart heavy saucepan and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/4 cups, 25 to 30 minutes. (Stir frequently toward end of cooking to prevent sticking.)

SALMON IN A SOY & HONEY MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic spring onions and lime juice - taste to your liking and season with black pepper.
• Rinse the fish with clean water and gently pat dry with kitchen paper.
• Pour the sauce over the fish in a large bowl, making sure the fillets are covered. Seal the bowl with cling film and leave to marinade in the fridge for 20 minutes.
• Once marinaded, loosely wrap the fish in individual foil parcels with a couple of spoonfuls of the marinade, leaving a 1 inch gap in the top of the foil.
• Place on a tray in a pre-heated oven at around 160°C for 15-20 minutes. Pour the remaining marinade into the parcels half way through cooking. Meanwhile, cook your rice or noodles.
• Serve with vegetables such as broccoli, green beans or red peppers. Unwrap the parcels and use a flat utensil to lift the fish out and place onto your plate.
• Sprinkle the fish with sesame seeds and fresh chopped spring onion to garnish.
