\n

The brilliant chefs of the Kikkoman Kitchen Cabinet share techniques and ideas for enhancing grilled foods with Kikkoman Sauces.<\/h2>\n<\/br>\n\n

From steaks and chops to poultry, fish, vegetables and meatless proteins, grilled foods are year-round menu stars. And if you\u2019re looking to give your grilled items the kinds of distinctive signature touches that keep customers coming back again and again, Kikkoman sauces can be just the ticket.

\n<\/br> \n \n\n

To prove this point, we asked seven members of the Kikkoman Kitchen Cabinet, our inner circle of leading-edge chefs and operators, to share some of their favorite grilling tips using Kikkoman products. Their simple, surprising ideas are easy ways to add flavor, umami and appeal to grilled foods without extra labor. And they might just surprise you. <\/br>\n\n\n\n

1. Ponzu as a Marinade<\/h4>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>One of my favorite hacks is using Kikkoman\u00ae Lime Ponzu as a quick overnight marinade for cuts like pork collar or pork shoulder. In a lot of barbecue cultures, pineapple juice or<\/span> other<\/span> acidic juices are used to tenderize meats in a marinade, and Ponzu has that effect along with adding great flavor.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. A Two-Ingredient Grilling Glaze<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201c<\/span>My favorite quick brush-on grilling glaze for those same meats is a mixture of Kikkoman\u00ae Oyster-flavored sauce and Thai Style Chili Sauce. The combo of the Ponzu marinade and this quick grilling glaze makes a perfectly delicious pairing on the grill.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span><\/span> Reverse Marinating<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cLately, I have really been enjoying reverse marinating\u2014a technique that involves marinating meat <\/span>after <\/span><\/i>grilling. Just season your meats with oil, salt and pepper and grill to just below your desired doneness temperature. Immediately plunge the grilled meat into a reverse marinade of Kikkoman\u00ae Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar, Sesame Oil, honey, minced ginger, garlic, scallion and chili. Allow the meat to sit in the marinade for up to an hour. The heat of the meat will gently “cook” the marinade which will be used as the sauce. Just before serving, grill the meat again at a very high temperature to char and reheat.\u00a0 Serve the meat with the reserved marinade poured over the top.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a04<\/span>. A Simple Soy Butter Sauce<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cI also like to make <\/span>a Soy<\/span> Butter Sauce for serving alongside grilled meats. In a saucepan, combine<\/span> Kikkoman<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> Soy S<\/span>auce, Kikkoman<\/span> Sriracha, lemon juice, sugar and minced garlic and bring to a boil. Off heat, whisk in small cubes of softened butter until the sauce is thick and rich. Stir in some chopped cilantro and serve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

5. A Three-Ingredient Glaze for Steaks<\/h4>\n

\u201cWe love using a mixture of equal parts Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar and Oyster-flavored sauce to finish our steaks. Season the steak with salt and pepper and grill to just below desired temperature. Dip the steak into the mixture and finish on the grill. This will create a beautiful glaze. The grill gives it that smokey wok flavor\u2014my favorite\u2014and a delicious umami punch.\u201d\u2014Chef Evelyn<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. A Brine for Grilled Vegetables<\/h4>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/b>I love brining my vegetables in a mixture of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Kikkoman Sesame Oil and water right before throwing them onto the grill. It brings out the beautiful flavors of whole vegetables and adds an extra char you want from the grill!\u201d\u2014Chef Henry<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

7. A Tare Dipping Sauce<\/h4>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/b>When it comes to grilling, one of our favorite ways to use Kikkoman Soy Sauce is to make a <\/span>tare<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>Tare<\/span><\/i> is a Japanese \u2018dipping sauce\u2019 that\u2019s often used as a seasoning agent for grilling meats like yakitori or yakiniku. At RYLA we like to use Kikkoman Soy Sauce as the base, and we add other ingredients to flavor it. For example, we make a port wine <\/span>tare<\/span><\/i> by combining soy sauce with port, mirin and sake to season the steaks that we grill over binchotan. You can use a pastry brush to brush on layers of <\/span>tare<\/span><\/i> while the food is on the grill, or you can even dip it in the sauce. The <\/span>tare<\/span><\/i> should be quite strong in flavor as it is used to season and flavor the meat while you are grilling.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

8. A Master Marinade with a Wafu Twist<\/h4>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/b>Equal parts Kikkoman Soy Sauce and Kikkoman Hoisin is one of the simplest, most tasty ways to marinate any meat before the grill. I also like to add 1 part balsamic vinegar, to make a Wafu Italian marinade.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
