Bobs Magic Marinade Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in salted water until fork tender; let cool and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place potatoes and the vegetables in a shallow dish or container. Pour Marinade over vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• Remove vegetables from the Marinade, reserving Marinade. Thread vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors. Cook skewers on grill until vegetables are lightly charred all over, about 10 minutes, basting with reserved Marinade and turning occasionally.
• Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl. The marinade can be prepared in advance and held covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Steps:

• Bring the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and ginger puree to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium low. For a marinade, remove from heat and allow to cool. For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water to form a smooth paste and stir into the mixture; allow to simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix the first six ingredients, and any or all of the rest that intrigue you, with one exception:
• Just before using, add the aromatics (ginger, herbs, etc). Don't overmarinate. Brush lightly on meat, fish, or portabello mushrooms.
• The marinade will keep for years (sez Bob) as long as it isn't contaminated by raw meat or fish.
• Finally, this marinade acts as a preservative if you're taking fish or meat to a potluck barbque.
