Sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, lemon juice and soy sauce makes the best combination for marinating just about anything! This is our favorite standby marinade for chicken and salmon (Jane).

4. Looking for a marinade for pork or beef? Try this one. For beef - cut thinly and then marinate. Then put beef on skewers and then BBQ.
5. Serve with a rice pilaf e.g. chipotle rice and coleslaw or salad. Storage tips: Lemongrass. Chop finely and freeze until needed. Just add a tablespoon or two to your favorite marinade or stir fry. Ginger: peel to remove skin and then put pieces into glass jar. Cover with dry sherry and store in the refrigerator. Will keep for ages. Sherry can be used in stir-fries. |
