Sesame Ginger Marinade

Measure out all ingredients: soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and minced garlic, and place them into a small mixing bowl.

Add the minced garlic to the bowl, ensuring it is finely minced to allow maximum flavor release into the marinade.

Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil into the bowl with the garlic, then add the brown sugar on top.

Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the marinade is well combined.

Taste the marinade and adjust the balance by adding more brown sugar for sweetness, soy sauce for saltiness, or sesame oil for nuttiness as desired.

Place your chosen protein or vegetables into a shallow dish or zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring even coating.

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, allowing the ingredients to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.

Remove the marinated protein or vegetables from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature before cooking or assembling into wraps.
