Pan Asian Marinade And Basting Sauce Recipes

PAN-ASIAN MARINADE AND BASTING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined.
• Brush generously on meat and let sit several hours or overnight.
• Use to baste the meat while it's cooking on the grill or under the broiler.

ASIAN BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients except sugar in a bowl.
• Cook sugar in a dry heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Tilt pan and carefully pour in hoisin mixture (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Serve with shrimp, swordfish, pork, or chicken.
• Our two favorite brands are Koon Chun and Lee Kum Kee, both from Hong Kong. We found them in New York's Chinatown, but they're also available by mail order from Uwajimaya (800-889-1928).

MARINATED ASIAN PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the pork; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade., Drain and discard marinade. Place pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 450° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

BONEFISH GRILL PAN ASIAN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan, sautee the minced ginger in the olive oil until fragrant.
• In a bowl, thoroughly combine the soy sauce, ketchup, oyster sauce, lemon juice and water and add to sauté pan.
• Bring the mixture to a slow boil, then slowly add sugar over low-med heat for about 5 minutes.
• If desired, add a little hot water to the sauce to thin it.

ASIAN MARINATED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cumin, and chili paste in a large, heavy plastic zipper bag. Smush the bag a few times with your fingers to mix all the ingredients thoroughly and dissolve the brown sugar; place the pork chops into the marinade, and seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the pork chops from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Shake off excess marinade, and grill the pork chops until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the chops show good grill marks, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

ASIAN GINGER GRILL MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onion, sesame seeds, and pepper until the honey has dissolved.
