There are many recipes for sesame, soy, ginger marinades. This is my favorite 5 Tastes marinade for veggies. Use it with portobellos, zucchini, summer squash, egg plant, etc.

Ingredients:

½ c. white wine vinegar
1/3 c. light soy sauce
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 large cloves garlic crushed/minced
2 teaspoons pepper sauce
black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Slice the squash lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices.
Wipe portobellos gently with a paper towel and remove the stems.
Marinate veggies 30-60 minutes.
While the veggies marinate, preheat your grill and oil the grates.
Remove the veggies from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel to prevent flaming on the grill.
Grill veggies and mushrooms for a few minutes each side until tender.
Serve as a great starter, or as a side dish.
