I needed a tasty IC friendly marinade, and this is what I came up with. The magic ingredient is coconut aminos which is found in many stores and some even have store brands. Coconut aminos is a dark-colored sauce that tastes similar to soy sauce. Instead of being made from soy sauce (which is a no-no if you have IC), coconut aminos comes from the sap of the coconut plant — not coconuts. After extraction, the sap gets stored and ages. During this time, it ferments due to the natural sugars present within it. Coconut aminos tastes similar to soy sauce, with a salty umami flavor. But coconut aminos also has a touch of sweetness not present in soy sauce. It does not, however, taste like coconut.

2 tablespoons coconut aminos (if tolerated and check for problem ingredients)
