- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup cooking wine (approx. 100ml)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce (approx. 100ml)
- 4 Tbsp sugar (approx. 60g)
- 1/4 cup plum extract (approx. 50ml)
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 Tbsp black pepper (approx. 10g)
- Water as needed
Pork Rib Pre-boiling Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 3-4 bay leaves
- 1 green onion
- 1/2 handful whole garlic cloves
- 1 tsp whole peppercorns
Siraegi Seasoning
- 1.5 Tbsp doenjang (Korean soybean paste)
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 onion
- 3-4 bay leaves
- 1 green onion
- 1/2 handful whole garlic cloves
- 1 tsp whole peppercorns
Siraegi Seasoning
- 1.5 Tbsp doenjang (Korean soybean paste)
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Soak the pork ribs in cold water for at least 1 hour to remove any blood. Drain, then boil them in plenty of water over high heat for 10-15 minutes to pre-boil and remove impurities.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the galbijjim sauce ingredients (onions, apple, minced garlic, cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar, plum extract, ginger powder, and black pepper). Blend until smooth to create the sauce. Rinse the pre-boiled pork ribs under cold water.
Step 3
Cut the boiled dried radish greens into roughly 3 equal pieces each. In a separate bowl, mix the siraegi with the seasoning ingredients (doenjang, cooking wine, minced garlic, and gochugaru) and let it marinate. This initial seasoning helps the siraegi absorb flavors more deeply.
Step 4
Place the pre-boiled pork ribs in a large pot. Pour the prepared sauce over the ribs. Add enough water to cover the ribs completely. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 20 minutes. This initial boiling helps tenderize the ribs.
Step 5
After 20 minutes, add the marinated dried radish greens on top of the pork ribs. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for another 30 minutes. Then, lower the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the ribs are completely tender and the flavors have melded beautifully. Add a little water if it gets too dry during cooking.
Step 6
Once the sauce has reduced and thickened, your delicious Siraegi Pork Rib Stew will be ready. The ribs will be deeply infused with flavor, and the radish greens will be wonderfully soft. It will look incredibly appetizing with a beautiful sheen.
Step 7
Transfer the finished Siraegi Pork Rib Stew to a serving platter and present it generously. Enjoy this hearty and satisfying meal with warm rice!
