    Beryl, you have to make BBQ from around the world. So many different kinds and recipes from Korean to Indonesian—you can’t end the summer without doing one.

    Chamorro BBQ Marinade has soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and onions. It’s so good!!

    Ingredients
    Marinade:
    1 cup soy sauce
    1 cup vinegar
    1 tablespoon garlic (powder or minced)
    1 small onion, finely diced (or 1 teaspoon of onion powder)
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1 tablespoon ginger (ground or freshly grated)
    1 cup cola
    Glaze:
    ⅓ cup vinegar
    ⅔ cup soy sauce
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 tablespoon corn starch
    Add any of the other ingredients used in your marinade

    Instructions:
    Place all of the marinade ingredients in a large zip lock bag. Seal the bag then shake it up to mix the ingredients together. Add the chicken to the bag then re-seal. Marinate the chicken for several hours before grilling.

    Place the glaze ingredients in a small sauce pan. bring to a boil, whisking contantly. Cookmuntil the sauce thickens. Brush the glaze on the cooked chicken.

    My mom claimed bitter gourd could cure diabetes. I would cook it so often that I had to remind her that I was not even diabetic. She would respond "that's ok, eat it anyway". Dang it!

    When cutting bitter gourd and allowing it to be exposed in room air makes it more bitter. Air allows bitter gourd to oxidise in which makes it more bitter. That is why soaking it in lukewarm water or ice cold water with salt will stop the process of oxidising.
