Smoked Spicy Korean Spare Ribs
These ribs are marinated in a spicy Korean sauce that enhances their natural flavors while imparting a distinctive taste. The key to achieving the perfect smoke is to ensure that your grill is set up correctly and that you use quality wood chips for the best flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 racks of pork spare ribs
- 1 cup of soy sauce
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of sesame oil
- 1/4 cup of gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preparing the ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor penetration and tenderness.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Stir until well combined to create the marinade.
- Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring that they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C) using your preferred wood chips, such as hickory or applewood for a mild flavor.
- Remove the ribs from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting later.
- Place the ribs bone-side down on the smoker or grill grates. Smoke the ribs for approximately 3-4 hours, spritzing them with water or apple juice every hour to keep them moist.
- In the last hour of cooking, brush the ribs with the reserved marinade to enhance flavor and give them a nice glaze.
- Once the ribs are tender and have developed a nice bark, remove them from the smoker. Let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
