Finadeni
from chamorro.com
No island feast would be complete without finadeni. This terrific
sauce is used to flavor rice, soups, and is excellent for marinating
chicken, beef and pork. Make a lot at once and store the extra
in a salad dressing carafe for easy use later.
* 1/4 cup soy sauce
* 1/4 cup lemon juice
* 1/4 cup chopped green onions
* 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper, or 3 small red peppers,
roasted and chopped
Combine ingredients, stir.
