Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

½ cup water
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tsp minced garlic (approximately 2 cloves)

Method

Combine the marinade ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
Place your meat into a gallon-size freezer bag or sealable container, then pour the marinade over the top.
Make sure the meat gets coated on all sides by the marinade and seal your container tightly.
Put the sealed container in your refrigerator and let the meat marinate for no less than 2 hours.

Marinating overnight is best, to ensure good flavor penetration. Don't let the meat marinate longer than 2 or 3 days, however, or the texture will suffer.

Notes

For a gluten free alternative to soy sauce, look for tamari. It is a Japanese ingredient, derived from the miso-making process, and is gluten free.
