Amazing! Life got in the way and these marinated for almost 2 days. My husband ate his share at work and texted: Man! You made a restaurant-quality marinade for those Korean BBQ ribs!!! It was delicious. I'm impressed. I gobbled 'em up!!! And included a chef's kiss Bitmoji. Maybe 2 days of marinade was the trick!
