Sesame oil
1/4 cup
Soy sauce
1/4 cup
Fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons
Garlic, minced

  2. Grate the fresh ginger and add it to the bowl.
  3. Mince the garlic and add it as well.
  4. Stir in the brown sugar and red pepper flakes.
  5. Whisk all the ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the marinade is well combined.
  6. Pour the marinade over your choice of protein (chicken, beef, or tofu), ensuring it is fully coated.
