Recipe 🍳

  1. Soak the thawed pork ribs in cold water for 30 minutes to remove blood, and trim off excess fat.
  2. In a pot, bring water, sliced ginger, bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns to a boil, then add the ribs and blanch for 3 minutes. Rinse under cold water to clean off impurities.
  3. In a pot, add the blanched ribs and enough water to cover them, then add soy sauce, sugar, rice syrup, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Start cooking.
  4. Peel the radish and carrot, rounding the edges. Cut the onion and mushrooms into large pieces, and slice the cheongyang chili peppers and leek into bite-sized pieces.
  5. After simmering the ribs in the seasoning for about 25 minutes, add the radish and carrot first and cook until tender.
  6. Add gochugaru and gochu-ssi-garu for spiciness, then add cheongyang chili peppers, onion, mushrooms, and leek. Simmer until the sauce reduces.
  7. Add tteokbokki rice cakes and cook until the sauce is nearly absorbed. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and top with minced scallions.
  1. Remove blood from pork ribs and trim fat.
  2. Blanch ribs in boiling water with ginger, bay leaves, etc. for 3 minutes, then rinse.
  3. Start cooking ribs with water and soy sauce seasoning ingredients.
  4. Prepare vegetables by cutting them into appropriate sizes.
  5. Boil ribs for 25 minutes, then add firm vegetables first to cook.
  6. Add gochugaru, gochu-ssi-garu, remaining vegetables, and rice cakes; simmer until reduced.
  7. Finish with sesame oil and minced scallions as garnish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Transfer frozen ribs to the refrigerator the day before cooking to thaw slowly for tender meat.
  • Rounding the edges of radish and carrot prevents them from breaking apart during long simmering, resulting in a clean broth.
  • Using gochu-ssi-garu (red pepper seed powder) gives a clean, intense spiciness without the muddiness of gochujang.
