The marinade typically includes ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of sweetness, creating a rich and complex taste profile. It is formulated to tenderize meat and impart a delicious char when cooked.

To use, simply pour the marinade over your desired cut of meat, ensuring it is fully coated.
