Alright, let’s get sizzling and dive right into this drool-worthy recipe!

Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 racks of baby back ribs
• 1 cup of soy sauce
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 small piece of ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons of Gochujang (Korean chilli paste)
• 1 orange, juiced

For equipment, you’ll simply need a mixing bowl, aluminum foil, grilling pan and tongs.

The superstar here is undoubtedly the Gochujang. This Korean chili paste adds an incredible depth of flavor ��� it’s a fine dance of sweet, savory and spicy. Of course if you’re unable to source Gochujang, a mix of regular chili paste and a bit of sugar might just do the trick ��� but nothing beats the real deal.

How To Make Korean BBQ Ribs

1. Begin by washing and pat drying the ribs. Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, Gochujang, and orange juice.
2. Add the ribs into this marinade, making sure they’re well-coated. Leave them to marinate for about 2 hours in the fridge.
3. After marinating, preheat the oven to 275F and line a baking tray with aluminum foil. Place the ribs onto the tray and cover with another piece of foil, then bake for 2 hours.
4. Finally, crank up your grill and give the ribs a nice char on both sides. Baste with remaining marinade for extra sauciness.

Tips For The Best Results

• Marinate your ribs for at least two hours, or even better, overnight. This allows the flavors to deeply penetrate.
• Don’t rush when you’re cooking these. Low and slow is the name of the game!

Storage Tips

• You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the oven and they’ll be just as tasty!
