Ingredients:

Gochujang Barbecue Ribs

  • 2 racks baby back pork ribs (about 2 pounds each)
  • Kosher salt
  • Ground pepper
  • 4 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 10 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 3-inch piece peeled ginger, very coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grill
  • 3/4 cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons plum sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon shoyu
  • 1/4 cup water

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 300°F.
  2. Pat ribs dry; season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Wrap each rack in a double layer of foil, crimping edges tightly, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 2 1/2 hours or until meat is soft but is not quite falling off the bone.
  5. Remove from oven and let sit inside foil until cool enough to handle.
  6. In a food processor, pulse green onions, garlic, and ginger until finely chopped.
  7. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat oil.
  8. Add green onion, garlic, ginger mix and cook, stirring often, until golden, and starting to stick to bottom of pan, about 4 minutes.
  9. Add gochujang, ketchup, lime juice, plum sauce, sugar, shoyu, and water and stir until smooth.
  10. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often to prevent scorching, about 5-10 minutes until thick.
  11. Remove sauce from heat.
  12. Heat outdoor grill on medium high heat; lightly oil grates.
  13. Remove ribs from foil and cut racks in half crosswise.
  14. Place ribs on grill, meaty side down, and grill until lightly charred, about 1 minute.
  15. Brush ribs with sauce and turn over.
  16. Brush with more sauce and continue to grill, turning ribs two more times, until sauce is lightly charred, about 2 minutes.
  17. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into individual ribs.
