Japanese Marinade Food

JAPANESE MARINADE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, canola oil, soy sauce, ginger and sugar. Serve with meat of your choice.

JAPANESE MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken generously with pepper.
• Combine all marinade ingredients and stir to blend well.
• Sprinkle cornstarch on a plate and toss chicken pieces to coat, shaking off any excess.
• Transfer the coated pieces of chicken to the marinade and let marinate for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally.
• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Arrange chicken in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with oil and bake uncovered, basting occasionally, for 1 1/4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked and juices run clear.

JAPANESE WASABI MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix together wasabi, mustard and sake until dry ingredients dissolve; add rest of ingredients, mixing well.
• Add marinade to fish or meat, covering all sides, in a ziploc plastic bag, removing as much air as possible (this reduces need for a lot of turning).
• Marinate food for several hours.
• Note: The pungency of the mustard and wasabi is reduced in this marinade. It happens whenever you combine any vinegar/sugar with these powders, as one does with prepared mustard. If you want a "sinus-clearing" effect, make a thick paste of either mustard or wasabi with just a small amount of water, and rub onto food within 30 minutes of eating. I recommend English mustard, as it is the hottest type. Coleman's is a good brand.

ASIAN MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk ingredients together in a small bowl. Place meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables in zipper lock bag or in shallow, nonreactive pan. Pour marinade over contents and seal or cover. Turn zipper lock bag or stir contents of pan occasionally to evenly distribute marinade.
• Prepare 1/2 cup marinade per pound of meat. See description for suggested use of rosemary.
