Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this marinade for seafood?
Yes, you can use this marinade for seafood like shrimp or salmon, but reduce the marinating time to about 30 minutes to prevent the fish from becoming too salty or mushy.
Is it safe to reuse marinade that has been used on raw meat?
No, it's not safe to reuse marinade that has come into contact with raw meat unless it is boiled first to kill any harmful bacteria. Alternatively, set aside some marinade before adding meat for safe use as a sauce later.
What can I substitute for soy sauce in this recipe?
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, you can use tamari instead of soy sauce. Alternatively, coconut aminos can also provide a similar flavor profile with less sodium.
