Instructions: This is a process in which raw meat or poultry is steeped for a time in a liquid such as soy sauce rice wine or sherry and cornflour to improve its flavour and to tenderise it. Sometimes other spices or seasonings such as sugar chillis five spice powder or Sichuan peppercorns are added. The marinading time is usually at least 20 minutes in order to infuse the meat or poultry properly with the flavours of the marinade. Once marination is complete the food is usually lifted out of the marinade with a slotted spoon before it is cooked.
