To use this marinade, simply pour the contents over your chosen food item, ensuring it is evenly coated. For best results, allow the food to marinate in the refrigerator for a period of time, ranging from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the type and thickness of the food. This allows the flavors to penetrate. Discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw food. It can be used before grilling, baking, broiling, or pan-searing.
