Recipe 🍳

  1. Soak the pork ribs in cold water for 30 minutes to remove blood, then poke thick meat with a fork to help seasoning penetrate. [00:01:12]
  2. Blanch the ribs in boiling water for 5 minutes to remove impurities, then rinse thoroughly in cold water. [00:01:55]
  3. In a pot, combine the blanched meat, roughly chopped green onion and onion, 1 cup of cheongju, and enough water to cover the meat. Boil for 30 minutes until about 70% cooked. [00:02:41]
  4. Make the seasoning sauce by mixing 1 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp cooking wine, 3 tbsp pear drink, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp corn syrup, 1 tbsp tuna fish sauce, and 1 tsp pepper. [00:04:31]
  5. After 30 minutes, remove the green onion and onion used for the broth. Leave about 1 cup of broth and the meat. Add the seasoning sauce, roughly cut radish, and shiitake mushrooms. Braise. [00:08:28]
  6. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, then add carrot, 2 tbsp minced garlic, and 1 bottle of ssanghwa-tang to eliminate any gamey smell and enhance flavor. [00:11:57]
  7. For the last 5 minutes, turn up the heat to high to glaze the ribs until shiny. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish. [00:12:22]
  1. Remove blood from ribs, poke with fork, blanch for 5 minutes, and rinse.
  2. Boil ribs with green onion, onion, and cheongju for 30 minutes to tenderize.
  3. Add part of the broth, seasoning sauce, radish, and mushrooms. Then add carrot, garlic, and ssanghwa-tang to braise.
  4. Finish by reducing over high heat until glossy.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you cook the seasoning and meat together from the start, the meat becomes tough. So first boil the meat with aromatics in plain water to soften, then add the seasoning. [00:02:27]
  • Using brown sugar gives a subtle sweetness and the deep brown color characteristic of braised ribs. [00:05:02]
