Jabong (Pomelo) Marinade (Edit recipe)

This bitter citrus is usually called Jabong in Hawaii. It is native to southeast Asia and tastes very similar to a grapefruit, but even larger in size.

I don’t personally like eating them plain, there are a ton of large seeds. But, I do like to use them in marinades. When I created this recipe I had just received one in my farm fruit box.

This recipe is very flexible and the marinade will work with any cut of poultry or pork, you can then cook it however you like. I typically use the meat in a stir-fry or I BBQ it and serve it over rice. Either way it is a fun twist on your usual marinade. Enjoy.

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Try to remove as many seeds as possible from the fruit.
Blend the citrus up in a blender until liquid.
Add the lime, ginger, coconut aminos, honey, and salt and blend for 30 seconds.
Put the chicken in a large bowl and pour marinade over the chicken.
Refrigerate and let marinate for 2-4 hours.
Cook or BBQ the chicken however you like. I used it in a stir-fry.

Notes

If you don't have pomelo then use juice of one grapefruit and one lemon. It will be pretty similar tasting. For the chicken you can use any cut you like, and boneless/skinless doesn’t matter. Use the cut that is best for the dish you are making. For stir-fry I use boneless/skinless. For the BBQ I like to use the skin on/bone in. Totally flexible and up to you. Have fun with it. If you can’t remove the seeds then you can do a quick strain of the jabong juice after you blend it before adding the other ingredients just to get out any big seed pieces.
