Korean Barbecued Ribs With Pickled Greens Food

KOREAN BARBECUED RIBS WITH PICKLED GREENS

Steps:

• Cut each short rib crosswise into 3 pieces, cutting between the bones. Soak ribs in a large bowl of ice-water for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
• Make marinade: Stir together marinade ingredients in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved. Drain ribs; pat dry. Put ribs and marinade in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish; turn each rib to coat. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Make pickled greens: Put greens and scallions in a medium bowl, and set aside. Cook garlic and chiles in sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until garlic is pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat; stir in vinegar, mirin, and the salt. Immediately pour contents of pan over greens, and toss to coat. Let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat broiler, with the rack about 6 inches from heat source. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and very lightly brush with vegetable oil. Lift ribs from marinade, and arrange in a single layer on sheet (discard marinade).
• Broil ribs (checking often) until well browned on top, about 5 minutes. Turn; continue to cook until well browned on other side, about 4 minutes more. Serve with chilled pickled greens.

KOREAN BBQ BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• BBQ sauce: In a saucepan, bring all ingredients to a simmer over low heat. Cook uncovered, 1-2 hours. (Note: Sauce can also be made while the ribs are baking during the first hour, Step 3.)
• Ribs: Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Place ribs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle rub all over the ribs, using more on the meaty side. Massage the rub into the meat (tip: wear non-latex gloves for easy cleanup). Cover with foil and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Remove ribs from refrigerator and wrap each rack tightly in foil. Place them in a roasting pan side by side and bake 1 hour. (Alternatively, you can smoke the ribs, uncovered, in a smoker at 220 degrees F for 1 hour.)
• Take the ribs from the oven and remove the foil. Return the ribs to roasting pan; pour any liquid in the foil over the ribs. Pour the BBQ sauce over the ribs. Loosely cover pan with foil and bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, basting halfway through.
• Assembly: Remove ribs from oven and place on a cutting board. Cut into two-rib portions and serve stacked on a platter, with extra sauce from the pan on the side.
