I've cooked a lot of stuff over the years. Most of it was total crap. In fact 99% was/is probably total crap. I have no background in this other than eating. I've also ruined many, many pans. You know, boil the water and 2 hours later you're wondering who the hell is welding something in your house.
In the past year or so I've really gotten the hang of a few different dishes and with the exception of a batch of carbon coated croutons, I haven't burned anything in a really long time.* I've found that the key to cooking pretty much anything is patience. Don't put the heat up really high in order to cook something faster, don't crowd all your crap (a.k.a. ingredients) into a pan to cook a bunch of stuff quickly, you know... those kind of things.
My point being sometimes waiting for something to marinate is worth it.
This is killer on steak and not too shabby with chicken or Tofu:
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
3 Tbspn Oyster sauce
1 Tbspn sesame oil
1 Tbspn rice wine vinegar
1 Tbspn sugar
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp chinese 5 spice powder
1/4 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
1. whisk all ingredients together
2. place meat and marinade in bag, let sit for 30 mins
*Please note burning something is not indicated by setting off the smoke alarm
