FAQs AND QUESTIONs
Can I use this Asian marinade on chicken?
- Of course! This is a recipe I frequently use to make an Asian marinade for chicken thighs and breasts. I adore grilling the chicken and some pineapple at the same time. Because chicken breaks down more quickly than steak, you won’t want to marinate it for as long as you would if you were using this Asian marinade for chicken.
- In addition to pork (pork chops or pork tenderloin), this marinade is also excellent for salmon, shrimp, tofu, and veggies! Regarding other beef cuts, this recipe works incredibly well with tenderloin, porterhouse, t-bone, skirt steak, top sirloin, flank steak, tri tip, ribeye, chuck eye, and flat iron. Because of its assertiveness and boldness, this recipe will essentially make shoe leather taste
WILL THIS WORK AS AN ASIAN MARINADE FOR SALMON?
- Indeed! Salmon tastes fantastic with this marinade. Because salmon is a flavorful and fatty fish, it complements the strong flavors of the marinade beautifully.
- I suggest giving the fish an hour to marinate. This salmon tataki is definitely something you should try if you love salmon!
