Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 1820

Ingredients
  

  • 6 lbs pork rib racks
  • ½ cup gochujang
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • cup Sriracha sauce
  • 6 cloves crushed garlic
  • ¼ cup finely minced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar

  1. Remove the thin white membrane from the underside of the ribs.
  2. Preheat oven to 275F.
  3. Mix the gochujang, ketchup, Sriracha, crushed garlic, minced green onions, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and kosher salt together in a bowl until fully combined. Reserve ⅓ cup of the glaze in a separate bowl for basting.
  4. Coat ribs with the sauce, wrap tightly in foil.
  5. Roast for 2 hours.
  6. Unwrap, increase oven to broil. Brush with reserved sauce.

Notes

Pro Tips:
Wrap the ribs tightly in two layers of foil before roasting — any gaps let steam escape, and steam is what makes the meat pull away from the bone without drying out.
Don’t skip the ginger and garlic in the glaze — they cut through the richness of the pork and balance the heat of the gochujang in a way that neither ingredient can do alone.
Reserve at least ⅓ cup of the glaze before coating the raw ribs — you’ll use this for basting under the broiler, and using sauce that touched raw meat is a food safety issue.
Watch the broiler closely after the 5-minute mark — the gochujang and brown sugar in the glaze go from perfectly caramelized to burnt very fast. Pull them the moment the edges start to char.
Storage & Meal Prep:
These ribs keep refrigerated for up to 4 days and actually taste better as flavors meld. They're excellent cold from the refrigerator or reheated gently in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. The glaze may harden when cold but softens when warmed.
