Ingredients

• 1/3 cup Soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, cilantro, or thyme, finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, and lemon juice. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved into the mixture.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk again to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 3

Incorporate the chopped fresh herbs into the mixture, ensuring everything is well blended.

Step 4

Use immediately by pouring over your choice of protein or vegetables in a resealable bag, shallow dish, or airtight container.

Step 5

Ensure that the food is fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours (or overnight for a more intense flavor).

Step 6

Before cooking, discard the excess marinade and pat the food dry to achieve a better sear. Cook using your preferred method (grilling, roasting, etc.).
