When you make a marinade, such as using ginger, honey, and soy sauce, the ginger and honey will remain on the outside of the meat, but the salt in the soy sauce will penetrate a bit deeper into the meat.
Salt draws out the liquid from the meat by osmosis, then the brine is reabsorbed into the meat while breaking down the muscle structure. The oils are used to transfer fat-soluble flavors from the seasonings like herbs, chillis, and spices onto the surface of the meat.
