Korean Spicy Roasted Pork Ribs
These irresistibly sticky and tender Korean-style ribs are marinated in a savory-spicy glaze and roasted until perfectly caramelized.
Korean-inspired roasted pork ribs are the ultimate companion for a bowl of steamed white rice. By using a potent blend of Korean chili sauce, ginger, garlic, and oyster sauce, these ribs achieve a deep umami flavor and a signature vibrant glaze. The slow-roasting method ensures the meat becomes tender and juicy, absorbing the aromatic marinade completely before finishing with a nutty sesame garnish.
Ingredients
- 1 kg pork ribs
- 1 head garlic, minced
- 60 g Korean chili sauce
- 10 g garlic chili sauce
- 15 g honey
- 10 g ginger, minced
- 20 g light soy sauce
- 10 g dark soy sauce
- 30 g oyster sauce
- 1 splash cooking oil
- to taste white sesame seeds
- to taste fresh green onions, chopped
Instructions
- 1Season the ribs
Place the chopped pork ribs into a bowl. Add a whole head of minced garlic, 60 grams of Korean chili sauce, 10 grams of garlic chili sauce, 15 grams of honey, and a little minced ginger.
Tip: Ensure the pork ribs are chopped into uniform sizes for even cooking. - 2Add sauces
Pour 20 grams of light soy sauce, 10 grams of dark soy sauce, 30 grams of oyster sauce, and a splash of cooking oil into the bowl with the ribs and aromatics.
Tip: Using dark soy sauce helps achieve the deep, rich color desired for roasted ribs. - 3Massage to marinate
Mix and knead everything thoroughly by hand so the ribs are evenly coated with the marinade. Seal the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
Tip: Wearing food-safe gloves while massaging will keep your hands clean and hygienic. - 4Arrange on the tray
Arrange the marinated ribs in a single layer on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. This spacing ensures they cook evenly.
Tip: Ensure the foil completely covers the tray base to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. - 5Seal the tray
Cover the ribs with another sheet of foil, crimping the edges tightly to seal. This creates a steam-cook environment that keeps the ribs succulent.
Tip: Make sure the seal is airtight so the moisture remains inside during the baking process. - 6Bake the ribs
Place the tray in the middle rack of an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius and bake for 35 minutes.
Tip: Always preheat your oven to the target temperature before putting the food inside for best results. - 7Garnish with sesame seeds
After removing the top foil cover from the baking tray, generously sprinkle a layer of white sesame seeds over the ribs. This adds a subtle nutty crunch that complements the spicy, savory glaze of the pork.
Tip: For the best flavor, lightly toast the white sesame seeds in a dry pan before sprinkling them over the ribs.
