Step 2: Wash And Cut the Ribs

Take 750g ribs and wash them well. After washing, take them to the chopping board and cut them using a knife. The cut size is important. I am cutting the ribs into 2-inch size cubes. The cut size should be somewhere around this, but you may make some changes here.

Step 3: Fry The Ribs

Take the washed ribs on a plate. Now spread some salt and pepper over them and mix them well. Once the mixing is done, take a crockpot and add ½ cup of cooking oil to it. Once the oil starts boiling, place the ribs in the crockpot using tongs.

After 3 or 4 minutes of frying at the lower medium head, turn the rib sides and fry again for 3-4 minutes. Fry until you get a golden brown surface of the ribs. Once the fry is done, take them off the crockpot and place them on a plate.

Step 4: Cook The Ribs For an Hour

After taking off the ribs, then add some 250ml broth to the crockpot. With the broth, add the already prepared ginger, garlic, and scallion. Besides them, add 1 tsp miso, 1 cup Soy Sauce, ½ cup Rice Wine Vinegar, and 1 tsp Gochujang. Now give a good mix.

In the mix of these ingredients, add the fried ribs. Once everything is added, close the crockpot lid and pressure cook everything for 1 hour at lower heat. So, let it cook and come back after around 1 hour.

Step 5: Serving The Ribs

After one hour of cooking at a lower heat, you will see the ribs are well-cooked and the broth is thickened. Take a plate full of rice or noodles, add 3-4 pieces of ribs to the plate, and serve.

To decorate your serving, you can add some chopped green onion and some sesame seeds. This will give the serving a greenish-white look. You can serve the ribs with anything like rice or noodles.

Do’s and Don’ts of The Recipe

The instructions are enough to give you a better result. But still, you need to keep a serious eye on some pints. Here are these points for you to follow.

• Don’t overcrowd the crockpot when frying the ribs. Overcrowding lowers the oil temperature, preventing a proper sear and leading to soggy, unevenly cooked meat.
• Do simmer the broth gently over low heat for a full hour. Slow cooking allows the spices and seasonings to meld, resulting in a richer, deeper flavor.
• Make sure to wash the ribs thoroughly before cooking. Proper washing removes any bone fragments and impurities, ensuring a cleaner and fresher final dish.
• Don’t overcook the garlic and ginger when preparing the broth. Excessive cooking can make these spices bitter, overpowering the delicate balance of the dish.
