Korean BBQ Ribs
For my mouth watering Korean BBQ Ribs the secret flavor I like to add is apple sauce. APPLE SAUCE?! Yes, this adds a sweet and sour flavour, thickens the marinade and helps with caramelising the ribs while on the BBQ. Many Korean recipes use grated Korean Pear but using Apple sauces is easier to get hold of and tastier in my view.
What I would highly recommend doing is finding a local butcher and getting PROPER ribs! Ribs that have a good amount of meat on them and not like the cheap nasty bones you can buy cheaply in some supermarkets.
TIME SAVER – If you are feeling super lazy, just buy a good quality Korean marinade but do try your own first…It is amazing!
