Unsaved Sake Brine

Ingredients

  • 32 oz Water
  • 1/4 cup Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup H-E-B Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 oz Sweet Texas 1015 Onion(s), chopped, about 1/2 cup
  • 1 oz Garlic cloves, roughly chopped, about 6 large cloves
  • 1 oz Fresh ginger root, roughly chopped, about 1/4 cup
  • 2 Small thai chili peppers, or 1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño
  • 1.5 l Sake, 2 - 750 ml bottles

Instructions

  1. Add water, salt, sugar, onions, garlic, ginger and Thai chili to large pot. Bring to a simmer just long enough to dissolve salt and sugar.
  2. Add sake to a large, deep brining container, a plastic or another non-metallic container works best. Add salt and sugar mixture to sake.
  3. Gently place meat in brine so meat is covered in liquid. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours, depending on size of meat, 6 to 8 hours for smaller cuts such as pork tenderloin or cut up chicken; 18 to 24 hours for large whole turkeys.
  4. After brining is complete, rinse meat in fresh water and pat dry before cooking.
