Air Fryer Salt-Grilled Pork Ribs
Perfectly Juicy Pork Ribs with Just an Air Fryer!
I spotted some beautiful pork ribs at the butcher’s today and couldn’t resist picking some up! Today, we’re making salt-grilled pork ribs using just an air fryer. They’re incredibly delicious and a big hit with kids too.
Main Ingredients- Pork ribs 1kg (2.2 lbs)
- Coarse salt 1 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to remove the blood from the pork ribs. Submerge the 1kg of ribs in cold water and let them soak for 1 hour to drain out all the blood. This step helps eliminate any gamey odor and ensures a clean, pure flavor.
Step 2
Place the drained ribs in a pot. Add enough water to cover the ribs, then add 1 Tbsp of doenjang, the large-cut onion, and the handful of garlic cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for another 10 minutes. This process tenderizes the ribs and effectively removes any unwanted smells.
Step 3
Carefully remove the ribs from the pot after boiling and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. Discard the boiled onion and garlic. Pat the ribs dry, then drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of coarse salt. Gently massage the seasonings into the ribs to ensure even coating. This simple marinade enhances the natural flavor of the pork.
Step 4
Now, let’s use the air fryer! Arrange the seasoned ribs nicely in the air fryer basket. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Then, place the ribs in the preheated air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. You’ll notice them starting to turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 5
After the first 10 minutes, flip the ribs over. To make them extra juicy and glossy, you can brush any rendered fat collected in the air fryer basket back onto the ribs. Return them to the air fryer and cook for an additional 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F). This final step ensures the ribs are perfectly crisp on the outside and wonderfully tender on the inside. Enjoy your delicious salt-grilled pork ribs!
