Grilling and serving
Traditionally, the ribs are cooked over charcoal, which gives the caramelized edges a smoky flavor. At home, they can be fried on a grill pan or cooked under the oven grill. The grill should be heated to medium-high temperature, and the ribs should be grilled for 15 minutes on each side.
The dish is served with a salad made from 90 g of lettuce. The dressing uses one tablespoon each of soy sauce and white vinegar, half a tablespoon of sugar, and half a teaspoon of hot Korean gochugaru pepper. If pork ribs are unavailable, they can be replaced with pork loin or meat from the front leg.
