AIRFRYER KOREAN PORK RIBS⤵️
3-4 lb pork ribs
1/2 (Asian) pear, blended*
1 small onions, blended
10 cloves garlic, blended
1/3 cup rice syrup (or sugar)
2/3 cup korean chili paste (gochujang)
1 tsp ginger
1 TBSP soy sauce
1 TBSP Sesame oil
1 tsp black pepper
* an Asian pear is preferred but since I didn’t have any, I used a Bosc pear. Just make sure it’s ripe
1. Pat dry your pork ribs. Then remove the membrane.
2. After you remove the membrane, cut in between the bones of your ribs. Soak in salt water for at least 10 mins. Then drain and rinse under cold water. Pat your ribs dry with a paper towel.
3. Make your pork rib marinade: in a blender or food processor, blend 1/2 pear, 1 small onion, 10 cloves of garlic.
4. Once everything is well blended, add to it: 1/3 cup rice syrup, 2/3 cup korean chili paste, 1 tsp ginger, 1 TBSP soy sauce, 1 TBSP sesame oil, 1 tsp black pepper. Combine this well.
5. Now that your marinade is done, add your ribs to this and coat well.
6. Cook this on a grill but since I did not have one, I cooked mine in the air fryer. 400F for 20 minutes, flip half way thorough. Then cook for an additional 15-20 flipping every 5 minutes and basting occasionally.
(Your cook time will look something like this: 10 mins, flip, 10 mins, flip, baste, 5 mins, flip baste, 5 mins, flip, 5 mins, flip, 5 mins— I hope this makes sense. I’m sorry if it doesn’t🥸)
7. Once your pork ribs are cooked, serve it up and enjoy. I served my ribs over caramelized onions with Korean tofu soup, salad and rice.
