Directions

1. Remove the membrane from 1 kg of thoroughly washed pork back ribs.
2. Place the pork back ribs in a pot and pour in 1.5 liters of water, enough to submerge them.
3. Add 3-4 bay leaves, 10-15 whole black peppercorns, and 60 ml of soju. Boil for 30 minutes.
4. Once the water boils, reduce heat to medium and skim off any foam.
5. Lightly rinse the pork back ribs, which have been boiled for 30 minutes, in cold water.
6. Cut the boiled pork back ribs into individual pieces by slicing between the bones.
7. Prepare the seasoning sauce: In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon Korean plum extract, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 3 tablespoons oligosaccharide, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons Tonkatsu sauce.
8. Finely mince 1 tablespoon of garlic, add it to the seasoning sauce, and mix well.
9. Place the cut pork back ribs in a pot, add the prepared seasoning sauce and 200 ml of water, and mix thoroughly.
10. Once the sauce starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
11. Stir occasionally while simmering to ensure the ribs are well coated with the sauce.
12. Continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced to a thick consistency.
13. Arrange attractively on a plate, then pour any remaining sauce from the pot over the ribs.
14. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts for a more appetizing presentation.

Tips

• Removing the membrane from the pork ribs makes them much more tender and eliminates gamey odors.
• Skimming off the foam prevents gamey odors from permeating the meat.
• Once the sauce starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer.
• Stirring occasionally while simmering helps the sauce penetrate the ribs well.
• Simmer until the sauce has reduced to a thick consistency, then it's done.
• Sprinkling with sesame seeds or nuts makes it more appetizing.
