KOREAN-STYLE BBQ PORK
RIBS WITH BLACK GARLIC HONEY AND KIMCHI
SERVES 4
As seen in IN Noosa Magazine and Hello Sunshine Magazine. Scan the QR Code for more recipes.
Black Garlic is a slow, months-long process where whole bulbs of garlic are held at a specific temperature and humidity and transformed into sweet molasses-like cloves as black as coal. It’s an umami bomb that elevates the taste of anything you serve it with. These ribs are handy for entertaining as they can be precooked the day before, refrigerated and then finished off on the BBQ.
Ingredients:
• 1.5kg pork spare rib racks
• ½ cup soy sauce
• ½ cup mirin
• 1⁄3 cup Noosa Black Garlic Honey
• 2 tbs sesame oil
• 2 whole star anise
Method:
• Whisk together the soy, mirin, honey, sesame oil, star anise, ginger and pepper and pour over the racks (they’re easier to fit in a tray and handle if you cut the racks in half first).
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Put the racks into a baking tray and pour over all of the marinating liquid.
• Cover with a lid or aluminium foil and cook in the oven for two hours at 140oC.
• 1 tbs ginger, grated
• 1 tsp cracked black pepper
• 2 shallots, finely sliced
• ¾ cup kimchi
• steamed jasmine rice
• Pour off the cooking liquid to a small saucepan and boil until thick and syrupy.
• Refrigerate the ribs until cold.
• Brush the reduced cooking liquid all over the ribs, then cook on a hot BBQ until caramelised all over and heated through.
• Cut the racks into individual ribs and arrange on a platter. Scatter over the shallots and serve with a dish of kimchi and rice on the side.
