ARE THEY PORK RIBS OR BEEF RIIBS ??
It’s pork baby back ribs. 🙂
Thank you! ?
Thanks for a great recipe! I also really like the new video format. Can’t wait to try this out this weekend 🙂
Hi! Sounds delicious. Can’t wait to try.
You mention a special soy sauce at the end with different types of seasonings? What kind did you mean?
Also at then end you mention to keep the broth to make a great soup. I love soup! I couldn’t find the recipe on your pages. Can you send me a link?
Thanks!
Ahhhh that one, we call Mat-ganjang. It’s seasoned soy sauce, basically soy sauce cooked with vegetables, fruits and more seasoning, so you can use it for any propose in the kitchen. Mostly it flavored with garlic, ginger, onion, black pepper, apple, pear and sugar.
I normally make ramen noodle soup, there is no recipe because I use store bought semi-fresh ramen and instead using water, I use the broth. 🙂
Hope this helps!
Hi Seonkyong!
If I am using spare ribs instead of baby ribs, how would I adjust the cooking time?
I know that it would take longer but approximately how long should I be cooking them for?
Thanks for your help!
Love your recipes 🙂
You should cook full 2 hours. 🙂 Good luck in your kitchen Young! <3
What happens to all that 8 cups of food in the Dutch Oven?
This was very delicious, what can you do with the broth that I said left over from cooking the pork?
You can do many different things with it! For example, just recently when I cooked this, I used the left over broth for my ramen broth and it was amazing!
Hi, I don’t have sake, what else can I use?
Could you make these in the oven or on the stove? I don’t have a grill but they look so good!
Can I do this for just ribeye pork chops? How would it affect cooking time?
I’ve made this so many times and everyone that has tried it loves them! It’s super easy to make too! Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you for trying one of my recipes! Hope you find my other recipes as helpful!
Hi, can this be made in advance for a bbq the next day? Can I cook the meat the day before and then on the day of the bbq, just grill it with the sauce?
One more note – definitely save the water you boiled the ribs in! It makes an incredible fragrant pork bone broth that is fantastic as a base for soups or ramen.
I don’t ever review online recipes. Like, ever. But these are so. stinking. good. They went from a fun special occasion recipe to literally once a month in our household – I stock up on ribs when they’re on sale. I have a lot of food allergies so eating this dish out would be impossible, and it’s so great I can enjoy it at home.
