A great combination of sweet and salty, this honey soy citrus marinade can be used equally as well for simple proteins as well as stir-fry.
I’ve been getting a little more creative with my savory dishes recently. And trying not to just come up with ideas for desserts, cookies and cakes etc! This recipe came out of having some leftover salad dressing from my Spinach and Orange Salad (recipe here) and not wanting to throw it away. I thought I could make some sort of chicken marinade … and thus this recipe was born! Enjoy …
The first time I made this sauce, I made it with chicken, thinly sliced carrots and bell pepper with some broccoli thrown in, all over rice noodles – Abby wanted noodles for dinner ‘Kung Fu Panda’ style. I’m not sure whether this was exactly according to those specifications, but it was yummy and she loved it as well, so I’ll take that for a win! Most recently I’ve used pork chops and they were a winner as well!
Just be warned that the honey in this marinade may actually caramelize on the bottom of any meat you use – so be aware that you will need to make sure it doesn’t stick too much to the pan!
