Soy Marinade (for beef, chicken or tofu)

This soy marinade is the trick to better stir-fry and fried rice. Whether you’re throwing chicken, tofu, or grass-fed beef into the pan with all of those amazing veggies (think snap peas, bok choy, carrots, and onions), it’ll add flavor to the protein of your choice. Another idea: You could use it flavor a piece of salmon served over soba noodles. Don’t forget to buy some chopsticks in advance.    

Ingredients

1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons malt vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together until combined.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE It takes just a couple of minutes to make and the blend of these ingredients is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Plus, it doesn’t contain the added sugar or preservatives that store-bought marinades often do.
