Gochujang Barbecue Ribs With Peanuts And Scallions Recipes

GOCHUJANG BARBECUE RIBS WITH PEANUTS AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• The day before you plan to cook the ribs, use a paper towel to help you pull the silver skin off the backside of the ribs. Combine salt, light brown sugar and black pepper to make a rub, then generously season ribs with the rub on both sides. (You may have some rub left over.) Place on a rimmed baking sheet, wrap in plastic, put in the refrigerator, and let sit overnight.
• For the sauce, combine all ingredients and whisk until brown sugar is dissolved. (You can use a hand mixer if you'd like.)
• The next day, prepare a charcoal grill (preferably a kamado, the egg-shaped ceramic grill) and warm it to 225 to 250 degrees. If your grill doesn't have a thermometer, use an oven thermometer to try to keep the temperature consistent. (See note.) Place ribs on a rack so they are not sitting directly on the grate. Cook 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning and basting ribs with barbecue sauce every hour.
• Glaze the ribs with the sauce once more before serving. Cut the ribs and then sprinkle with peanuts and scallions and serve.

GRILLED PORK RIBS WITH GOCHUJANG BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°F. Whisk vinegar, brown sugar, gochujang, and adobo in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved. Transfer half of sauce to a small bowl and set aside for serving.
• Season ribs all over with salt and pepper. Place each rack on a double layer of foil and wrap up. Set on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until very tender but not falling apart, 2 1/2-3 hours. Let cool.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Grill ribs, turning several times and beginning to baste with remaining sauce as soon as ribs begin to brown, until charred and coated with a thick layer of glaze and heated through, 8-10 minutes. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and cut between bones into individual ribs. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.
