Default Re: Easy Oriental Marinade

Being of Chinese descent, I take no offense in the usage as an adjective as it is being used in this case.

From Wikipedia:
The Orient is a term which means "the East". It is a traditional designation for anything belonging to the Eastern world or the Far East. In English it is a metonym describing Eastern Asia. It was also used to indicate the eastern direction in historical astronomy as the adjective Oriental.


BTW, using fresh ginger and not powdered is key and will make all the difference in this marinade.
