The Ultimate Marinade.
This marinade is incredible – as well as extremely versatile. It is super simple to throw together, and chances are you have most of the ingredients already.
It takes less than 5 minutes.
We have been using this in my family for years. The base is some simple soy sauce.
I prefer the reduced-sodium version. I’d rather get my sodium load in other blood pressure raising meals.
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl or baking dish.
Give it a good whisk!
The most common foods we marinate in my house are chicken and steak. The marinade is also INCREDIBLE on shrimp before it is grilled, or on veggies (not that I would know). I can imagine it may also be good with tofu.
Hmmm..didn’t I just post about a possible vegetarian switch? By the way, thank you all so, so much for your suggestions! I am going to attempt a few of them this weekend.
The Ultimate Marinade
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup sherry wine
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
Combine all ingredients together and mix in a large bowl or baking dish. Whisk until sugar has disolved and pour over meat, seafood or veggies.

The “homemade dressing” I’m always talking about on my blog is incredibly similar to this. I could almost drink it lol! I’m planning to use it as a marinade for my first time eating tofu (I’m scared!) so it CAN be vegetarian :)
