These spicy pork ribs have been family favorites ever since I was born. It's spicy enough to give a kick without making you sweat and slightly sweet that goes brilliantly with the natural sweetness of the pork. Here's the thing: the marinade is a secret that my mother refuses to give up.I've been trying to figure out how to make the marinade for awhile now and although I've gotten close, there's still something missing. So far, I know there is:
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Onions
- Sugar
- Gochujang (Korean hot sauce)
- Paprika
I know there is one more ingredient but my palate isn't able to uncover the last puzzle piece...yet.
As for how the pork ribs are cooked, they are first boiled briefly with a variety of vegetables and spices to infuse various flavors to the actual pork meat. The marinade is then added along with the pork ribs and set aside in the fridge overnight. The pork is then broiled in the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes. Because they've already been slightly boiled, the cooking time is relatively low.
As always, the pork ribs were delicious and left me longing for more as the bones started to accumulate on our plates. Hopefully one day I'll be able to figure out my mother's marinade!

Right I want those now!! They look yummy!
I've been trying to get hold of Gochujang for a while now but have had no sucess sadly. I will have to order it from the net - just the postage is outrageous!
These look so good! I've been seeing quite a few pork rib recipes lately, maybe it's a sign that I need to go buy some :)
Yum, Korean-inspired anything makes me happy. Pair these ribs with some rice and kimchi, you'll be all set!!
