One thing I do like to do is experiment in the kitchen. I like to use different seasonings, spices and other condiments to make my own recipes and dishes that my family will ask for again. Tonight I made some yummy chicken using a Caribbean Jerk Marinade using the Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar.
I also made use of the George Forman Grill. Take a peek at my meat…
Tonight I used the Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar Original Flavor in my Caribbean Jerk Marinade. I also used some of the Nakano Seasoned Rice Roasted Garlic Flavor Vinegar with our green beans too!
I was really anxious to try both of the products that I received and both my dishes came out delicious. With the green beans, I cooked them using salt and butter and finished them off with a splash of the seasoned vinegar. Since our green beans are usually pretty plain, this gave them some flavor and I will definitely be making them again this way.
I have never tried a Caribbean Jerk Marinade until tonight. I don’t use packets anymore so I made my own. Checkout a simple Caribbean Jerk Marinade using the Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar:
| Nakano Caribbean Jerk Marinade Recipe |
- 1/4 cup Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar Original Flavor
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 tsp ground nutmeg
- Combine all ingredients in bowl.
- Stir well to dissolve the brown sugar making sure there is no lumps.
- Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours prior to cooking. For best results, marinate at least 24 hours if making marinating chicken.
This marinade recipe was adapted from the Nakano recipes that can be found on their website. There are also quite a few more I would like to try as well as the other seasoned vinegar flavors. Find more recipes using the Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar at: https://mizkan.com/recipes/.
