Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Add rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, smoked paprika, chili flakes, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine all aromatics and spices evenly.

Step 3

Pour in the water to slightly thin out the marinade and stir again to ensure a smooth consistency.

Step 4

Place the spareribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 5

Pour the prepared marinade over the spareribs, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 6

Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor infusion.

Step 7

When ready to cook, remove the spareribs from the marinade and scrape off excess liquid. Reserve the marinade if you plan to use it for basting or as a sauce (make sure to cook it to a boil before serving to kill any bacteria).

Step 8

Cook the spareribs using your preferred method—grilling, baking, or smoking—until tender and golden brown. Enjoy!
