Main Ingredients

  • Pork ribs, about 400g
  • Coarse salt or seasoned salt, to taste
  • A handful of Shishito peppers (꽈리고추)
  • 1 pack of King oyster mushrooms (팽이버섯)
  • 2-3 sausages
  • 3-4 Button mushrooms (양송이버섯)

Simple Sauce (Optional)

  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 5 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 5 Tbsp vinegar
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 1/2 minced Cheongyang chili pepper (adjust to spice preference)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Start by preparing about 400g of fresh pork ribs. These were purchased from Homeplus for a little over 10,000 won, making them about 2,690 won per 100g, which is quite reasonable. Opting for fresh, domestically sourced ribs is recommended for the best flavor.

Step 1

Step 2

Remove the plastic wrap from the ribs. Inspect them to ensure they have a good color and a decent amount of meat attached – perfect for a camping barbecue. For a simple seasoning, just sprinkle generously with coarse salt or seasoned salt. If using seasoned salt, its finer grains help it adhere better and distribute flavor evenly.

Step 2

Step 3

Grilling ribs over charcoal can take some time. To make your camping meal efficient, it’s a good idea to grill quicker-cooking meats like beef or pork neck alongside the ribs. This way, you have something delicious to enjoy while the ribs reach perfection. You can also substitute pork back ribs (쪽갈비) for spareribs.

Step 3

Step 4

When you first place the ribs on the hot coals, keep them moving and flip them frequently to prevent burning, especially over the direct heat of the center. It’s crucial to be mindful while grilling, as the thickness of the meat varies around the bones, making some parts prone to burning if left unattended. Rotating the ribs ensures even cooking.

Step 4

Step 5

Once the exterior of the ribs has achieved a nice, browned color, move them to the cooler edges of the grill. You can then place quicker-cooking items like beef slices in the center to cook rapidly. Even on the cooler side, continue to flip the ribs occasionally to ensure they don’t scorch. This stage requires a bit of attention but is key to achieving perfectly grilled ribs.

Step 5

Step 6

Your delicious charcoal-grilled pork ribs are ready! Because ribs take time to cook, the key to a successful camping meal is to put them on the grill soon after starting your coals. While they cook slowly, you can grill and enjoy other faster-cooking meats. This strategy ensures everyone has something to eat and allows the ribs to finish perfectly. Don’t forget to grill the accompanying Shishito peppers, king oyster mushrooms, sausages, and button mushrooms – they’ll absorb that wonderful charcoal flavor too! (If you’d like a sauce, you can mix sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, minced onion, and minced Cheongyang chili, then simmer briefly over low heat until slightly thickened for added flavor.)
