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
Directions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
