Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ketchup, and brown sugar until sugar dissolves.
Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Place your choice of protein in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over, ensuring even coating.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Remove protein from marinade and cook as desired. Discard leftover marinade.

Tips

For extra tang, add 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
Reserve a small amount of marinade before adding raw protein to use as a basting sauce during cooking.
This marinade works well with pineapple chunks for a sweet and sour stir-fry.
