Sweet Teriyaki Marinade

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons sake (rice wine)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice cooking wine)
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot (grated)

Directions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan over low heat and blend until sugar is fully dissolved.

2. 2

   Refrigerate up to 2 weeks until needed.

3. 3

   Pour marinade over meat (up to 3lbs) in a ziplock bag.

4. 4

   Marinade for at least two hours, or up to 24 hours for a deeper, more tender flavor.

5. 5

   Good for use with beef or chicken kabobs, grill over medium heat.

6. 6

   Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling to allow even cooking.

7. 7

   The sugar tends to char quickly over an open flame, so brush with vegetable oil often when grilling.
