With all Guy Kawasaki has accomplished, it should come as no surprise that the legendary Apple evangelist, author, venture capitalist, and podcast host is also talented in the kitchen. Guy’s love of Hawaiian cuisine is well known and it shows in his unique and subtle take on Teriyaki. We’ll bet, even if Teriyaki isn’t your thing, you’ll dig this one.

Also, you should check out Guy’s podcast, Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People. We especially like the episode with the James Beard Award winning chef Roy Yamaguchi and the pod with the host of Bizarre Foods and What’s Eating America, TV personality Andrew Zimmerman.

• 1/3 cup ginger, peeled and chopped

Preparation

1. Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor, until smooth.

5. Strain the marinade through a fine sieve and drizzle on top of cooked chicken or steak.
