- 2-3 bay leaves (for odor removal)
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp breadcrumbs
Sweet & Savory Special Sauce (Measurements based on adult tablespoon)- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp honey

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by removing the blood from the pork ribs. ★Quick Tip for Blood Removal! Dissolve 2 Tbsp of sugar in the ribs and let it sit. The osmosis process will effectively draw out the blood quickly.
Step 2
Now, we’ll boil the ribs. In boiling water, add the white parts of a leek and 1-2 bay leaves. This step is crucial for eliminating any gamey odor characteristic of pork ribs.
Step 3
Worried about the porky smell? We’ve got a secret weapon! Pour in one bottle of Ssangahtang (a traditional Korean herbal drink). The deep, aromatic notes of Ssangahtang work wonders to neutralize any unwanted odors, enhancing the overall flavor.
Step 4
Boil the ribs vigorously in this mixture for about 30 minutes until tender. Once cooked, rinse them briefly under cold water. This cooking method ensures the meat separates easily from the bones, making them a joy to eat.
Step 5
Let’s season the boiled ribs. Place the ribs in a bowl and add 2 Tbsp of soy sauce. Gently mix to coat each piece evenly.
Step 6
Next, add 2 Tbsp of minced garlic and mix well with the ribs.
Step 7
Add 1 Tbsp of vinegar for a touch of tanginess and mix again.
Step 8
Now, coat the seasoned ribs with 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2 Tbsp of breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly covered. This coating will create a wonderfully crispy texture when fried.
Step 9
Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the coated ribs and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. We’re aiming for a perfect crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Step 10
It’s time to make the irresistible ‘sweet and savory’ glaze! After removing the ribs, carefully wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Then, pour in 2 Tbsp of soy sauce.
Step 11
Add 1 Tbsp of plum extract for a layer of sweetness.
Step 12
For an extra depth of umami flavor, add 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce.
Step 13
And for the ultimate sweet finish, generously add 2 Tbsp of honey.
Step 14
Whisk all the sauce ingredients together and bring them to a simmer over medium heat. Let it bubble and thicken slightly to create a luscious glaze.
Step 15
Add the crispy fried ribs back into the pan with the thickened sauce. Reduce the heat to low and gently toss the ribs to coat them evenly. Continue to simmer and coat until the sauce is glossy and clings beautifully to the ribs, being careful not to burn the sauce.
Step 16
Voila! Your incredibly delicious sweet and savory grilled pork ribs are ready! The perfect balance of flavors makes them a hit with everyone, from kids to adults. They’re ideal as a snack, a side dish, or a main course. A welcome dish for those who prefer milder flavors! ★
Step 17
Pork ribs are meant to be savored by hand! Forget your manners for a moment and enjoy the messy, delicious process. The act of pulling the meat off the bone is part of the fun. Haha!
Step 18
These tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs are not only easy to eat but also incredibly delicious. The absence of any gamey smell makes them even more special. They pair wonderfully with a hearty kimchi stew! 😀 The meat is so tender, even children can enjoy them without any trouble. A truly delightful dish. ♡
