Spicy Gochujang Pork Ribs: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 pounds pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
– 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 inch ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
– Fresh green onions (for garnish)


Instructions

Making Spicy Gochujang Pork Ribs involves several easy steps. Just follow this guide for a successful cooking experience:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
2. Marinate the Ribs: Place pork ribs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for enhanced flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
4. Arrange Ribs: Remove the marinated ribs from the refrigerator. Place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, ensuring they are laid flat. Reserve some marinade for later.
5. Cover and Bake: Cover the ribs with foil and bake for 2 hours. This slow cooking method will make the meat tender and flavorful.
6. Prepare for Grilling (Optional): If you want a charred, crispy exterior, turn on your grill after the initial baking. Alternatively, you can finish them under the broiler in your oven.
7. Glaze the Ribs: After baking, brush the reserved marinade on the ribs. (Ensure that the marinade has not been contaminated with raw meat, or boil it beforehand.)
8. Grill or Broil: If grilling, set the ribs on medium-high heat and grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, brushing with more marinade as needed. If using your oven’s broiler, keep the ribs under the broiler for around 5-10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
9. Check for Doneness: Ribs should reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) and be tender enough to easily pull apart.
10. Rest and Garnish: Allow the ribs to rest for about 10 minutes after cooking. Finally, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll craft delicious Spicy Gochujang Pork Ribs that will amaze anyone fortunate enough to share a meal with you!
