Baked Korean BBQ Ribs

Baked Korean BBQ Ribs are tender, flavorful, and infused with a rich marinade that captures the essence of Korean cuisine. Perfectly baked to achieve a caramelized glaze, these ribs make for a high-protein dish that is both satisfying and delicious.

Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 500 grams
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Brown sugar - 30 grams
• Honey - 30 ml
• Sesame oil - 15 ml
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Gochujang (Korean chili paste) - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 15 ml
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, gochujang, rice vinegar, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Place the pork ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
4. Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. Reserve the marinade for later use.
5. Cover the ribs with another piece of aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
6. After 2 hours, remove the foil and brush the ribs with the reserved marinade. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the ribs are caramelized and slightly charred.
7. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice the ribs and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
