Ingredients:
- 3 pounds St. Louis-style or baby back pork spareribs
- 1 tablespoon ground coffee granules
- 1 cup sake
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 10 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly-grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- 3 scallions, sliced, for garnish
Instruction:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Place the spare ribs in a large pot, and fill with just enough water to cover the ribs. Add the coffee granules and the sake, and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for an additional 10 minutes, until cooked through.
- While ribs are boiling, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, add the barbecue sauce, gochujang, garlic, sesame oil, and ginger. Mix well to combine, and set aside.
- Carefully drain the ribs in a colander, and rinse under cold water. Transfer the ribs to a large bowl, and pour the sauce over the ribs, mixing well to evenly coat the ribs.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the ribs on the baking sheet, leaving space in between each piece. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Change the oven setting to broil. Broil ribs under medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly charred and caramelized. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve while hot.

FAQ
How many hours does it take to cook pork spare ribs?
Shoot for around 2 hours at 350 degrees if the ribs are uncovered, as in our Barbecued Pork Ribs. If wrapped in foil, the ribs can go for up to 3 hours at 300°F degrees, or crank the oven up to 400 degrees for a briefer baking time—1.5 to 2 hours.
What is the difference between pork ribs and spare ribs?
Baby back ribs (bottom of photo) are cut from the top of the rib cage, near the backbone. Spare ribs (top of photo) are cut from the bottom of the rib cage and sometimes they include the brisket, which is a bony piece of meat that hangs from the bottom. The farther down the rib cage you go, the meatier the ribs become.
What is the 3 2 1 method for spareribs?
The “3-2-1 Method” for spareribs suggests that you barbecue the ribs for 3 hours, then wrap in foil (usually with some sweet liquid added) and cook for 2 more hours, then remove the ribs from the foil and cook 1 more hour until almost fall-off-the-bone tender.
Is it better to boil ribs before cooking?
The reason you would boil ribs before cooking them is simple. This process helps tenderize the ribs and makes them more juicy. It not only shortens the cooking time significantly, but it also helps make the meat far easier to chew.
