Main Ingredients- 500g Pork ribs
- 1/2 stalk Green onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 Bay leaves
- 3 Tbsp Soju (or cooking wine)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The first step to delicious ribs! Soak the pork ribs in cold water for about 20 minutes to remove any blood. Thoroughly removing the blood is key to achieving a clean, tender taste without any gamey odor.
Step 2
Wash and chop the green onion into roughly 4-5cm pieces. Prepare 3 whole garlic cloves as well.
Step 3
After draining the blood, cut the ribs into manageable pieces. Making small scores between the bones will help the sauce penetrate better and make cooking easier.
Step 4
Now, let’s parboil the ribs. Fill a pot with plenty of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the prepared ribs, whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, 3 Tbsp of soju, and the chopped green onion. Bring it back to a boil over high heat.
Step 5
When the water starts boiling again, reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and simmer for about 30 minutes. This parboiling step tenderizes the ribs and removes excess fat, making them more delicate.
Step 6
While the ribs are simmering, let’s make the delicious braising sauce! In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1.5 Tbsp cooking wine, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 2 Tbsp water. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. This golden ratio sauce will add a deep, rich flavor.
Step 7
Drain the parboiled ribs using a colander. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any remaining impurities or excess oil. Rinsing under cold water ensures a cleaner final taste.
Step 8
Heat a pan over high heat with a generous amount of cooking oil. Add the drained ribs and sear them until golden brown. Searing the exterior locks in the juices, resulting in more succulent and flavorful ribs.
Step 9
Once the ribs are beautifully golden brown, pour in all the prepared sauce. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer, stirring occasionally with a spatula, for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ribs with a glossy sheen. The sauce should become slightly sticky.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the ribs to finish. Your soy-glazed pork ribs are ready! Enjoy this hearty meal with a side of warm rice. It’s a crowd-pleasing dish that everyone, young and old, will absolutely love.
