Categories     Sauce     Ginger     Boil

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 4 pounds spareribs, cut into 2-inch sections
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup sugar
5 nickel-sized slices peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped scallion

Steps:

  • Put a large skillet that can hold the ribs in one layer over high heat and add the ribs and 1/2 cup of water. Boil, turning the ribs occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated, then reduce the heat to medium and brown the ribs in their own fat, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds by putting them in a small skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally until they brown slightly and begin to pop.
  • Add the garlic and half the sesame seeds and stir; cook for 30 seconds. Add the sugar, ginger, soy sauce, half the sesame oil, and another 1/4 cup of water; turn the heat to medium-high, and cook, turning occasionally, until the liquid is thick and dark. If the ribs are tender at this point, they're ready. If not, add another 1/4 cup of water and repeat the process.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and the remaining sesame seeds and sesame oil. Stir once, sprinkle with the scallion, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: For Korean-style spare ribs, it's best to use a rack of pork spare ribs. These ribs are meatier and have more flavor than other types of ribs, such as baby back ribs.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Before cooking, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This membrane can be tough and chewy, so removing it will help the ribs cook more evenly.
  • Use a good marinade: The marinade is what gives Korean-style spare ribs their signature flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that is made with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  • Cook the ribs slowly: Korean-style spare ribs should be cooked slowly over low heat. This allows the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs frequently: As the ribs are cooking, baste them frequently with the marinade. This will help to keep the ribs moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the ribs with a variety of dipping sauces: Korean-style spare ribs are traditionally served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, vinegar, and gochujang (Korean chili paste).

Conclusion:

Korean-style spare ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give Korean-style spare ribs a try!
