*= 12 servings based on adding 3 lbs. of meat to the marinade.  Adding less meat will yield fewer servings.  4 oz. of meat is considered a serving.

Assembly hints:

Use a one gallon freezer bag for each recipe you make.  Put the freezer bag in a drinking glass, small bowl or measuring cup.  Add the ingredients assembly-line style to each bag.

Assembly Directions:

Add the green onions, ketchup, molasses, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, Thai chili sauce and garlic to a one gallon freezer bag.  Seal and shake or squish together to mix the ingredients. 

Freezing Directions:

Add up to 3 lbs. of your choice of meat to the freezer bag.  Shrimp, chicken and steak are great in this marinade!  Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.  Remove meat from marinade and discard marinade.  Grill or cook meat as desired.

Stephanie’s Comments:

Look in the Asian food aisle of your grocery store for the Thai chili sauce.  It is usually just called chili sauce or even chili garlic sauce.  If you can only find the one with garlic, just reduce the minced garlic by half.  It is a bit spicy, so you can adjust it to your families' preference.  Wonderful on all types of meat!  Shrimp is wonderful, but chicken and even steak are great as well.
