  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons of honey

  • 1 tablespoon of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

  • 1/4 cup of ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  8. Remove the ribs from the grill or smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve the Smoke and Ginger ribs hot, and enjoy!
