Ingredients
- 2 racks of pork ribs
- 1/4 cup Korean gochujang (red chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- For the herb crust:
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, chives)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until smooth. Coat the ribs generously with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast for about 1.5 hours, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade, until the ribs are tender and caramelized.
Preparing the Herb Crust
While the ribs are roasting, prepare the herb crust. In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, chopped herbs, breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This mixture will add a fragrant, crispy topping to the ribs.
Finishing Touch
Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven. Spread the herb crust evenly over the top of the ribs. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Serve the Korean Gochujang Glazed Ribs hot, garnished with extra herbs if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or a fresh green salad, offering a delightful blend of spicy, savory, and aromatic flavors.
