  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a marinade of mustard, soy sauce and honey? Prepare all the ingredients and equipment needed to prepare the marinade. Take a small but deep container so that it is convenient to knead all the components of the marinade. First of all, pour soy sauce into this container. Choose a sauce with a minimum number of ingredients — it is more natural and delicious.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Now gently add honey to the soy sauce. It would be better to use honey of a liquid consistency, since it will be more convenient to knead it without heating. If there is only thick honey, then heat it by melting it in a water bath at a temperature no higher than 40 ° C.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Also add mustard to the marinade. The selected mustard variety affects the taste of the finished dish. So, using, for example, Bavarian mustard, the finished dish will turn out with certain notes of sweetness. Adding Russian mustard to the marinade (that's what I used), the dish will turn out to be more spicy. Using Dijon mustard, in addition to the taste peculiar to this mustard, the finished dish will be decorated with grains.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Using a press, squeeze out a clove of garlic directly into the container with the rest of the ingredients. Add a little salt, but just a little, because soy sauce already contains enough of it.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Once all the ingredients of the marinade are in one container, mix them for a few minutes, bringing the ingredients to a homogeneous state. The marinade is ready.

Depending on the size of the pieces of fish or meat that are planned to be pickled, the time of finding these pieces in the marinade also depends. So, marinating small pieces, it will take from 1 to 1.5 hours to pickle. Marinating, medium-sized pieces, for example, it can be chicken wings, will take from 2-4 hours. If it is necessary to marinate large pieces, for example, a turkey drumstick, then it will take more time – from 6 to 8 hours.

Before marinating, rinse the fish or meat with cold water, remove all excess: streaks, films and other waste. Cover the pieces with marinade completely. The container in which the pickling process will take place, close with a lid or cling film and put in the refrigerator for the required time. After the pickling process, take out the container from which you take out the pieces of fish or meat, squeeze them a little from the excess marinade. Then send the pieces to a preheated frying pan, in the oven or on the grill for baking.

Be careful. If you fry fish / meat in a frying pan, then turn the pieces over regularly, because due to the honey content in the marinade, the pieces can burn, which will spoil not only the appearance of the finished dish, but also its taste.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

When adding soy sauce to a dish, it is worth considering that it has a rather salty taste. Reduce the total amount of salt, otherwise you risk over-salting.
