Teriyaki Marinade

"Years ago I was given a recipe for homemade teriyaki marinade by a friend from Hawaii. The recipe was rich, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make. I regretfully somehow misplaced the recipe over the years. Now that I'm married and back in the kitchen, I'm cooking more and a lot more from scratch. I've tried to recreate the recipe I had years ago and think I've done a pretty good job. Preparation time does not include two hours in refrigerator to marinate meat. Hope you like it."

directions

  • In medium pan over low to medium heat simmer soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, vinegar, and ginger root.
  • After 15 minutes, add pineapple juice and orange juice.
  • Up to 2 hours before cooking time pour the marinade into a shallow baking pan or a ziplock bag that you've placed in a bowl to avoid spillage, add strips of beef, chicken pieces, steaks, OR pork chops, etc.
  • Place in refrigerator to marinate.
  • It is recommended that you use the marinade only once, for one kind of meat, then discard. If you are making two kinds of meat, such as chicken and beef, divide the marinade and allow the different meats to work in different containers.
  • Meat can be cooked in a variety of ways. Steak or beef strips are good placed over hot coals on a grill. Cook steaks to your preference. Beef strips will cook quickly, turn often, watch closely. Chicken is best baked or broiled until juices run clear. Pork can be cooked on the grill or in the oven until no longer pink.

  1. This was a great marinade; the flavor was yummy, I had everything on hand and it was simple. I reduced the recipe to 1/3 of the original amount. I marinated 3 regular size chicken breasts; I cut them into bite-sized pieces and cooked them in a wok. I saved the marinade, and after the meat was done, I sauteed the veggies, removed them, returned the chicken to the wok, with marinade, brought it to a boil, and added a tsp. of cornstarch, to thicken the marinade into sauce. And it tasted so good, I forgot to mix the veggies back in before the pic! This is terrific, Live/Laugh/Love, and thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Great teriyaki marinade. I made 1/2 of the recipe and it was very simple to put together. I marinated a pork chop to make recipe #403914 for almost 24 hours. Thanks I<3 Cookbooks for an easy and tasty marinade. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
     
  3. Very yummy with easy ingredients. I marinaded chicken strips and then baked them in 1/2 the marinade and then stirred them through hokkien noodles so we had a lovely dinner.
     
  4. Great flavor! I loved that the soy sauce was not overpowering at all. Everything was on hand & this was so easy to throw together this morning. I used chicken strips, marinated them all day, stir-fried them & served with rice & veggies tonight. The only thing I would change next time is to borrow Alli's sauce reduction idea. We can't wait to try this on pork & the BBQ too, when warm weather comes around again. :) Thanks for sharing, I<3Cookbooks!
     
  5. Wonderful teriyaki marinade, which I used on boneless skinless chicken breast. I only made 1/2 of the sauce and probably should have only made 1/4 of the recipe for 2 servings, as it makes alot. This was quick and easy to get together with ingredients I always have on hand. I served it with rice, grilled onions and red pepper kabob. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for PAC Fall 09!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I come from a very large family which attributed to my mother spending a great deal of her time in the kitchen cooking, cleaning, and preparing. I was fascinated at how she prepared wonderful dishes (especially desserts) without using a cookbook. We grew many of our own fruits and vegetables and my summers were spent washing jars and preparing fruit and vegetables for canning. I dreaded the mountains of green beans, tomatoes, peaches, etc., etc. that had to be picked, washed, peeled, snapped.... More than anything, I hated spending my summer washing jars! But now, I wouldn't trade that kind of upbringing for anything. I'm glad I learned how to do all those things because it's becoming a lost art. It really was a simpler time then and I'm a much better person for knowing how to do all those 'old fashioned' things. In my early years of learning to cook, I watched Julia Child on PBS every chance I got. I was so thrilled when I was about 11, my mother let me prepare Julia's Pastry Tarts. If I remember correctly they didn't turn out so well but it didn't matter. Oddly, today, I enjoy reading cookbooks and recipes even more than actually cooking. <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picCdyPjI-1.jpg">
