Main Ingredients- Pork ribs
- 2 cups water or broth

- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 cup Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re making ‘Spicy Cheese Pork Rib Stew’! This dish features tender pork ribs coated in a sweet and spicy sauce, generously topped with melty, savory cheese. It’s a fantastic option for home parties or special occasions. Let’s get cooking!
Step 2
First, it’s crucial to remove the bloody taste from the pork ribs for a clean flavor. Soak the ribs in cold water for about 1 hour to drain the blood. If you can, change the water once or twice during this time. Properly draining the blood will result in a much cleaner tasting stew.
Step 3
Place the blood-drained ribs in a pot and cover them with water. Add 1 tablespoon of Doenjang (Korean soybean paste) and 1/2 tablespoon of instant coffee powder. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat for about 15-20 minutes. This step effectively removes any gamey odors and helps tenderize the ribs. After boiling, drain the ribs and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the delicious sauce. In a bowl, combine 2 cups of broth (or plain water), 1 tablespoon of Gochujang, 2 tablespoons of Gochugaru, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Tip: You can adjust the sauce to your preference! If you like it spicier, add more Gochugaru. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more sugar. I tasted mine while cooking and added a bit more Gochugaru for extra spice.
Step 5
Add the rinsed pork ribs to the prepared sauce and mix gently to coat. While you can cook them immediately, marinating the ribs in the sauce for about 30 minutes will allow the flavors to penetrate deeper, resulting in an even richer taste. If you’re short on time, cooking right away is also fine.
Step 6
Heat a pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated ribs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the ribs beautifully. The sauce should reduce and cling to the ribs. Be mindful to prevent burning, perhaps by covering and uncovering the pot as needed.
Step 7
Once the sauce has thickened and the ribs are cooked through, generously sprinkle your desired amount of mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat until the cheese is completely melted and gooey. The cheese adds a wonderful creamy texture and savory flavor that complements the spicy ribs.
Step 8
And there you have it – a perfectly cooked Spicy Cheese Pork Rib Stew! The delightful combination of spicy sauce, tender ribs, and stretchy, melty cheese is simply irresistible. It’s a fantastic side dish or a great accompaniment to drinks. Enjoy your delicious meal!
