Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor and tenderness, consider scoring the membrane on the back of the ribs before marinating, or remove it entirely.
- Avoid over-charring the ribs by monitoring the heat closely. If a strong char forms, move them to indirect heat to finish cooking.
- Pair these bold ribs with a crisp, cool Korean beer or a refreshing sake to complement the spicy and sweet notes.
