Spareribs, Korean Style image

Provided by Mark Bittman

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.

I've tried many Korean-style sparerib recipes, and this one is by far the best. The ribs are always fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is amazing.

These ribs were so good, I made them twice in one week! The sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and the ribs are always so tender.

Overall, these ribs were pretty good. The meat was tender and the sauce was tasty, but I found the recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think there are easier ways to make Korean-style spareribs.

These ribs were a huge disappointment. The meat was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

The ribs were a bit dry, but the sauce was really good. I think I'll try marinating the ribs for longer next time to see if that helps.

These ribs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll try using less sugar or adding some more vinegar to balance out the sweetness.

I'm not usually a fan of ribs, but these were amazing! The meat was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was out of this world. I'll definitely be making these again.
