Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Carefully cut between the bones of the pork ribs. This helps the marinade penetrate better and ensures a nice shape when cooked.
Step 2
Soak the prepared ribs in cold water for 1 hour to remove any blood. This step is crucial for a clean flavor.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. We will add the ribs to this boiling water.
Step 4
Once the water is boiling, add the pork ribs, whole garlic cloves, green onion, black pepper, ginger wine, coarse salt, and 1 Tbsp of mirin. Simmer vigorously for 20 minutes. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface during cooking. This process tenderizes the meat and removes any gamey odors.
Step 5
After boiling for 20 minutes, remove the ribs and rinse them quickly under cold running water. This helps to seal in the juices and maintain a firm texture.
Step 6
Drain the ribs well and place them in a large bowl. Add the marinade ingredients: 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp mirin. Mix gently but thoroughly, massaging the marinade into the ribs. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Now, let’s prepare the delicious BBQ glaze. In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp mirin, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Mix well.
Step 8
Arrange the marinated ribs on a baking sheet. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then lightly coat the surface with cooking oil. This oil coating will help them achieve a crispier texture in the oven.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F). Place the ribs in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes to start the cooking process.
Step 10
After the initial 10 minutes of baking, remove the ribs from the oven and generously brush them with the prepared BBQ glaze (from step 6). Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor.
Step 11
Return the glazed ribs to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes at 250°C (480°F). This final bake will result in perfectly crispy exteriors and tender, juicy interiors. Enjoy your delicious BBQ pork ribs!
