1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard

2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Salt

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized pot over medium heat.

Remove the sauce from the heat and let it rest until it comes to room temperature before storing. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Smoking Instructions

To add a smoky flavor, add the cooked sauce to a aluminum pan and place onto the smoker at 225 F. Use your favorite wood and allow it to smoke for 30-45 min. Remove and let it cool fully before storing.
