Flavorful Peach Ginger Soy Marinade

This marinade is ideal for chicken, pork, or tofu, infusing them with a sweet and tangy flavor. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and can be used immediately or stored for later use.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Sesame seeds and sliced scallions for garnish

Instructions

1. Blend the Marinade: In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped peaches, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place your chicken skewers in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
4. Grill the Peaches: While the chicken is grilling, slice the remaining peaches in half and remove the pits. Grill the peach halves for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are slightly charred and softened.
5. Serve: Arrange the grilled chicken skewers on a platter, alongside the grilled peach slices. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve with lime wedges for an added burst of flavor.
