Notes
Marinating tips You'll need 8 pre-soaked bamboo skewers Don't use metal containers for marinating - acidic ingredients will react and taint the food's flavour. Refrigerate when marinating - marinades don't prevent spoilage. Drain food before cooking. Too much marinade in the pan will prevent food coming into contact with the hot surface, causing it to stew.
