Ingredients
  

  • 2 racks of pork ribs about 4 pounds total
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 cup gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork ribs.
  3. Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, meat side up. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender.
  4. While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush a generous amount of the gochujang glaze over the ribs.
  6. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through, until caramelized and bubbly.
  7. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes. Slice between the bones and serve garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, you can finish the ribs on a grill for a few minutes after glazing.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
  • For a sweeter glaze, increase the honey to 3/4 cup.
