Multi-Purpose Marinade/Sauce/Dressing

I fired up some energy this evening to cook an amazing and easy dinner after a trip to Gas Works Park and walking Green Lake on this rare beautiful day in Seattle.  I have a recipe for a marinade that is tried and true and also grew up with.  I said multi-purpose in my title because you can really use it for any Asian inspired dish.  I love to cook fish with it, salads, tofu and noodles.  Tonight I used it to marinade some salmon and dressed my sauteed mung bean sprouts and spinach.

Here is my recipe, use it for whatever you wish.

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2Tbs honey (helps  to balance the tartness of the vinegar.  I like to use honey because it has better health benefits)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro*
1/4 cup chopped green onions*
I like to add some olive oil if I am using this as a dressing 1/4 cup.



Mix all ingredients together and marinade, dress, and enjoy! 
*chop extra for garnish
