Spicy Gochujang Pork Ribs: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe You Need to Try


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 pounds pork ribs (spare ribs or baby back ribs)
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– ½ cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– ¼ cup honey
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
– Green onions, sliced (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Spicy Gochujang Pork Ribs is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Ribs: Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork ribs. Pat them dry and season with black pepper.

2. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well until smooth.

3. Marinate the Ribs: Coat the pork ribs generously with the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate them in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours, or even overnight.

4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

5. Sear the Ribs: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

6. Bake the Ribs: Pour the remaining marinade over the seared ribs. Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven.

7. Slow Cook: Bake for about 2 hours or until the ribs are tender and easily pull away from the bone. Check periodically and add a splash of water if it’s too dry.

8. Glaze the Ribs: Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C). Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, brushing with the sauce every 5 minutes, until the ribs develop a beautiful glaze.

9. Rest: Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

10. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra pop of flavor.

These steps will guide you in creating Spicy Gochujang Pork Ribs that are incredibly flavorful and ready to impress!
