Sweet & Savory BBQ Ribs
Don’t be dissuaded by the long cooking time—these ribs are mostly hands off and finish easily in the oven or on your grill.
We used Momofuku Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Sauce, but Momofuku Sweet & Spicy Korean BBQ Sauce would also work great here—and if you’re feeling extra adventurous, you could even brush half of the ribs with one sauce and the other half with another. If you’re afraid of spice, feel free to cut down the Momofuku Chili Crunch to 1 tablespoon, but don’t cut it out entirely—it adds a lot of flavor to your final dish.

INGREDIENTS
- 1–2 tablespoons Momofuku Chili Crunch (optional)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 rack pork spare ribs
- ½ cup Momofuku Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Sauce
Directions
—
Heat oven to 325°F.
Mix 1–2 tablespoons Momofuku Chili Crunch, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the ribs, front and back, then wrap ribs tightly in aluminum foil.
Bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes until the ribs are nearly falling off the bone. Remove from the oven. (This can be done up to 2 days in advance, and the ribs can stay wrapped and be cooled and refrigerated.)
When you are ready to serve, baste Momofuku Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Sauce all over one side of the ribs with a brush.
For the grill:
Heat your grill to medium high, then place the basted side of the ribs down onto the grill. Baste the other side and cook for 5 minutes, then flip. Repeat until your ribs are charred and warmed through.
For the oven:
Heat your oven to 450°F. Baste both sides of the ribs and place them on a large sheet pan. Roast for 10–15 minutes until the ribs are beginning to char.
Serve with more reserved sauce.
