Cantonese Marinade

This marinade is *awesome*. Someone gave my mom the recipe awhile back, and the original recipe called for pork tenderloins so I've included that below. It's also really great with chicken, and probably just as good with turkey breast or beef or whatever else you might marinate and grill. Measuring is not a big deal - combine the ingredients in relative amounts and it'll be good.

2-4 pork tenderloins, 3 lbs. each

Marinade:

1/2 cup peanut oil
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup distilled white or rice wine vinegar
4 whole green onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp minced fresh ginger root
1/2 tsp hot chili oil (optional)
1 tbsp dark sesame oil (optional)

Mix marinade ingredients. Pour over pork and marinate overnight or 3-4 hours at room temperature. Grill over medium hot coals for 9-11 minutes per side, basting frequently.
