Korean-Glazed Baked Country Pork Ribs Recipe Is Fantastic (7 Ingredients) Pork High Protein Budget Dinner Korean Asian

Pork is one of my go-to meats for dinner. When I take out a pack of country ribs for dinner, it's because I'm craving my five-ingredient brown sugar ribs. Deciding to try something new with these pork ribs, I chose to go Asian. Korean to be exact. Wow, was I glad I made that last-minute play call! These Korean-glazed pork ribs are fantastic and a delicious high-protein dinner.

Country ribs are not really "ribs," but thick cuts from the pork butt or loin end of the pig. Country ribs can be boneless or bone-in, and are a meatier rib perfect for baking or grilling. You can use boneless country ribs or ribs with bones for this easy baked rib recipe. Mine was a mixed pack with both.

The simple Korean sauce is used as the basting liquid and also the sauce to serve with the ribs. The sauce has strong Asian flavors and complements the pork perfectly. To make these Korean-inspired glazed pork ribs you will need the following ingredients: pork country ribs. dark brown sugar, soy sauce, fresh or ground ginger, rice wine vinegar, garlic chili sauce or sambal oelek and sesame oil or Asian chili oil.

Serve these sweet, slightly spicy baked pork ribs for dinner with your favorite side dishes. Use the leftover ribs for fried rice the next night.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 - 3 pounds pork country ribs

Sauce and Glaze

• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (I used low-sodium soy sauce)

• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon garlic chili sauce or sambal oelek (I used sambal oelek)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the ribs onto a sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Put another sheet of foil on top and seal edges to create a poach. Bake in a preheated 325-degree F oven for 1 1/2 hours.
3. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Divide the mixture in half (it does not have to be perfectly in half).
4. Remove the ribs from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
5. Baste the ribs and return to the oven.
6. Cook the ribs about 30 more minutes, basting with the sauce every 10 minutes.
7. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions. Serve with the reserved sauce. Store any leftover ribs in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
