With the holiday weekend coming up, we know there will be a ton of opportunities for people to get outside and grill. Our chefs share eight easy grilling tips that you can use all summer long. 1. Use Kikkoman® Lime Ponzu as a marinade for enhanced tenderness and flavor. 2. Try a two-ingredient grilling glaze. 3. Experiment with reverse marinating — grill your meat to near-done and then plunge it into your marinade. 4. Make a Soy Butter Sauce to serve alongside grilled meats. 5. Season your meat with a three-ingredient glaze for richer flavor. 6. Brine your veggies in soy sauce and sesame oil for an extra char.  7. Make a tare dipping sauce for extra seasoning.  8. Mix Kikkoman® Soy Sauce and Hoisin Sauce for a simple but tasty marinade.
