Moms Marinade

This marinade is something that my mother has used through my whole life and for almost every type of meat, be it pork, beef or chicken. And after you've marinade the meat you can make delicious sauce with it by heating it up to kill any bacteria left by the meat and add crème fraîche. Because the original recipe uses the American measuring system the amount of soy it is written in in cups and tbl. This amount is good for about 1-1 1/2kg of meat.


4tbl sugar
2tbl oil (a neutral vegetable oil, like corn oil, works best)
1/3 cup of (mushroom) soy (1/3 cup is 78ml so about 5tbl of soy works if you want to be somewhat exact but a little less than a dl works just fine)
1 pressed garlic clove


Use a container large enough for your meat and that won't get stained from the soy.

Mix everything together until the sugar is completely absorbed.

Then place the meat in the container and roll it around so it get's coated and poke hole in it with a fork so that the flavor can really penetrate the meat.

Let it marinate in the fridge for 3-4 hours but the longer you leave it the better. (My mother once forgot about it for 2 whole days and it turned out delicious)

Then you can grill, fry or cook the meat in the oven.

Serve the meat with anything you like.



Enjoy!
