Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the spicy sauce. Pour 100ml of soy sauce into a large bowl.
Step 2
Next, add 2 Tbsp of cooking wine to help remove any gamey odor from the ribs.
Step 3
Add 1 Tbsp of sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Step 4
Add 2 Tbsp of minced garlic for a rich flavor.
Step 5
Add 2 Tbsp of corn syrup (or rice syrup) for glossiness and tenderness.
Step 6
Now for the key spicy element: add 4 Tbsp of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). You can adjust the amount to your preferred level of spiciness.
Step 7
Add 2 Tbsp of gochujang (Korean chili paste) for depth of flavor.
Step 8
Finally, add a pinch of pepper to balance the overall taste.
Step 9
Now it’s time to cook the ribs. Prepare 1.3kg of pork back ribs. We’ll boil them once to remove any unwanted odors before braising.
Step 10
To effectively remove odors, add 2 tsp of soju to the boiling water.
Step 11
Add 4 bay leaves and 20 whole peppercorns to the water. These will further enhance the ribs’ flavor and eliminate any gamey smell.
Step 12
After boiling, rinse the ribs under cold running water to remove any impurities. This step ensures a cleaner taste.
Step 13
Now, let’s start braising. In a pot, combine the prepared spicy sauce with 400ml of water and mix well. Then, add the cleaned pork ribs.
Step 14
Initially, cook with the lid off over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, allowing the ribs to absorb the sauce.
Step 15
Once the sauce starts bubbling vigorously, cover the pot with a lid and simmer for another 10 minutes. This helps the ribs cook through and become tender.
Step 16
Remove the lid again and continue to simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The goal is to let the flavors meld deeply into the ribs.
Step 17
When the sauce is nearly reduced, drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and mix thoroughly for a nutty aroma.
Step 18
Arrange the braised ribs attractively on a serving plate. Now, generously sprinkle your desired amount of cheese over the top. Don’t be shy with the cheese if you love it!
Step 19
Finally, it’s time to melt the cheese. Use a kitchen torch or briefly place it over a gas burner until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. You can also use an oven or air fryer for this step.
Step 20
With the cheese perfectly melted and stringy, your Spicy Cheese Pork Ribs are ready! Enjoy this delicious creation!
