Thai Marinade — 2

3 tablespoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce

½ cup rice wine

¼ cup peanut oil

¼ cup chopped basil leaves

¼ cup chopped mint leaves

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chopped gingerroot

1 small onion, chopped

2 tablespoons chopped lemongrass

Combine the fish sauce, sweet soy sauce, and the rice wine in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the peanut oil, then stir in remaining ingredients.

Yields approx. 1½ cups

The basil and mint in this recipe are more traditional, but you can substitute almost any slightly spicy herb. Try parsley or arugula, or, for a milder version, baby spinach works well, too.
