Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks (approximately 4 pounds) Pork ribs
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the underside (if not already done). Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours until tender.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens.
After 2.5 hours of baking, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Preheat your grill to medium-high or set your oven to broil.
Brush the ribs generously with the glaze on both sides. Place them on the grill or a baking sheet under the broiler.
Grill or broil the ribs for 5-7 minutes per side, basting with more glaze as needed. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Once caramelized, remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Serve with extra glaze on the side if desired.
