Main Ingredients- 2kg Pork Ribs (cut for braising)
Flavorful Braising Sauce Ingredients- 2 cups Soy Sauce (Jinganjang)
- 1 Onion (medium-sized)
- 1 Pear (medium-sized)
- 1 cup Minced Garlic
- 1/2 cup Minced Ginger
- 1/2 cup Beer
- 1 cup Corn Syrup or Fruit Molasses (Maesilcheong)
- 2 cups Soy Sauce (Jinganjang)
- 1 Onion (medium-sized)
- 1 Pear (medium-sized)
- 1 cup Minced Garlic
- 1/2 cup Minced Ginger
- 1/2 cup Beer
- 1 cup Corn Syrup or Fruit Molasses (Maesilcheong)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the aromatics for the braised pork ribs: Peel the onion and pear, remove the core and seeds from the pear, and chop them into large chunks (about 2-3 cm) suitable for blending.
Step 2
Thoroughly remove the blood from the pork ribs. Soak them in cold water for at least 1 hour, changing the water occasionally. This step is crucial for eliminating any gamey odor and ensuring a clean, delicious flavor in your braised ribs.
Step 3
Combine the chopped onion and pear, 2 cups of soy sauce, 1 cup of minced garlic, 1/2 cup of minced ginger, 1/2 cup of beer, and 1 cup of corn syrup or fruit molasses in a blender. Blend until smooth to create the braising sauce. The beer helps to tenderize the meat and remove any unwanted odors.
Step 4
Drain the pork ribs well after soaking. Place them in a bowl, pour the prepared sauce over them, and mix thoroughly to coat. Let the ribs marinate for at least 30 minutes. For an even deeper flavor, marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Step 5
In a wide pot or Dutch oven, add the marinated pork ribs and all the remaining sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 40 minutes to 1 hour, or until the ribs are completely tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Your delicious braised pork ribs are now ready!
