JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Marinade recipe

jennytarian requested marinade ideas, so I thought I would share my favorite marinade recipe. I adapted it from one I found on AllRecipes.com. I’m never that exact with the ginger and sesame oil—I just add until it tastes “right” to me.

Teriyaki Marinade

1/2 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. orange juice
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. grated fresh ginger (or more to taste—I like a lot)
1/4 t. sesame oil
Dash of black pepper

Combine all ingredients and pour over tofu or vegetables.

(You can change it up a bit by substituting lime or pineapple juice for the orange juice.)
