"This is a combination of two fabulous marinades. My kids absolutely love it and ask for me to make it all the time! And, just by using a gluten-free soy sauce, the entire recipe is gluten free! Serve with wasabi paste and rice."

Perfect as is. Marinated two pounds of thick ahi steaks for three hours and they were delicious after grilling. Not too sweet or too salty. Nice balance of flavors.
