Finadene – Island Sauce For EVERYTHING

Born and raised in Guam, I never stop comparing parties in the United States to all-town parties where everyone on the island is invited. Rub shoulders with the island’s mayors and senators, and never tire of the abundance of food, music, conversation and laughter. With its multi-cultural population, Guam has many different flavors and tastes. In this article, you will find one of the most requested recipes on the island: Finadene, the island sauce found at every party and poured over almost everything!

Finadene – Island Sauce for EVERYTHING

Immerse yourself in him or for him over EVERYTHING. The islanders NEVER go without it, and our off-island visitors bring this fabulous Guamanian recipe home. Finadene has a soy sauce base that is delicious with steak, chicken, fish, and vegetables. To do this over rice!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup lemon juice and peel

2/3 cup soy sauce

1 cup of chopped onion

2 stalks green onion, chopped

10-12 medium hot peppers, minced or mashed depending on your ‘hot’ preference

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS:

Cherry tomatoes – sliced

Cucumbers – sliced

ADDRESSES:

Do this a few hours before or the night before. Mix all the ingredients together and store the Finandene in the fridge until ready to serve!

ATTEND:

To do this over rice (a standard for ALL Guameños and found at every party), over roasted, grilled or fried chicken, steaks, ribs, fish and vegetables. The sauce, due to its lemon base, is richer every day. Be sure to store the unused sauce in the refrigerator and enjoy it for weeks.
