Spicy Pork Ribs (Korean Style)

Ingredients

6 lbs pork rib racks

1/2 cup gochujang*

1/2 cup ketchup

1/3 cup Sriracha sauce

6 cloves crushed garlic

1/4 cup finely minced green onions

2 tablespoons brown sugar

3 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/4 cup regular soy sauce

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

STEP 1

Use a small paring knife to help you remove the thin white membrane from the underside of the rib racks.

STEP 2

Preheat the oven to 275° F.

STEP 3

Combine the gochujang, ketchup, Sriracha, and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Reserve 1/3 of a cup of the mixture for basting later. Apply the remaining mixture to the ribs with your hands or a pastry brush. Wrap the rack tightly within 2 sheets of foil, sealed at the edges to form a ‘parcel’.

STEP 4

Roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours.

STEP 5

Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to broil.

STEP 6

Carefully open up the foil parcels. Then take the reserved chili sauce mixture and liberally brush the rack with the sauce. Place the ribs back in the oven, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until the edges of the ribs are just starting to char.

STEP 7

Remove the ribs from the oven and pile them onto a serving board or plate. Serve with plenty of napkins!

*NOTES:

Gochujang is a Korean fermented chili paste. It’s available in the Asian aisle of most supermarkets or from an Asian grocery store.
