Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups warm Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce
16 ears of corn, shucked
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce and divide equally into two bowls.
  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high for gas); see Grilling Procedure. .
  • Drizzle corn with oil on a large rimmed baking sheet, and sprinkle evenly with salt. Lightly rub oil and salt into corn.
  • Oil grill rack, then grill corn (covered only if using gas), turning frequently, until lightly browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Move corn to different positions on grill if hot spots are present. Brush corn with some of prepared sauce and grill, turning, until sauce is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger has a more vibrant and intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't Overcook the Ginger: Overcooked ginger can become bitter. Cook it just until it is fragrant and slightly softened, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Use a Good Quality Honey: The quality of the honey you use will greatly impact the flavor of the sauce. Choose a honey that is rich in flavor and has a strong aroma.
  • Balance the Flavors: The sauce should be a balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. Adjust the amount of honey, ginger, and soy sauce to your taste.
  • Use the Sauce Immediately: The sauce is best used immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, but the flavor will fade over time.

Conclusion:

Honey ginger sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used as a marinade, dipping sauce, or stir-fry sauce. It is also a great way to add flavor to roasted vegetables or grilled chicken. With its sweet, spicy, and tangy flavor, honey ginger sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. Experiment with different ingredients and proportions to create your own unique honey ginger sauce recipe.
