Gochujang Baby Backs
Botch
Posts: 16,317
Last night I de-membraned, salted, and wrapped in saran a rack of baby backs, to brine overnight. Onto the egg this morning, then I glazed them with a korean-style sauce that I kinda made up:
1/2 cup gochujang (this is a fermented korean pepper paste, delish)
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbs shao-xing wine
1 Tbs chinese black vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
As I heated it up to simmer, I tasted it and it was quite bitter, so I added a Tbs of turbinado sugar (both gochujang and ketchup already have a lot of sugar in them). After tasting the ribs after cooking/glazing, the bitterness had mostly disappeared and I'll be leaving out the sugar (and the vinegar) in the future, plus reversing the amounts of the gochujang and ketchup (and I will be making this again).
I overcooked the ribs (my personal curse) but they were otherwise tasty, served with a side of homemade potato salad and dilly-beans. Thx for looking!

Great cook and points for a stand-alone cook. Nailed 'em.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
