Kimchi Paste Marinated Pork Ribs

A pile of deliciously charred short ribs on a wooden plate.

If you love Korean BBQ or rich, savory dishes, these kimchi paste-marinated pork ribs are about to become your new favorite. Designed for maximum tenderness, this recipe brings together oven roasting, overnight marinating, and pressure cooking to create unforgettable, fall-apart ribs. Perfect for dinner parties, weeknight indulgence, or impressing someone special.

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 pounds pork ribs

  • 1 cup Mashi Kimchi Paste

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • 2-3 tbsp sesame oil

Steps:

  1. Cook the ribs in the oven at 350ºF/177ºC for an hour.

  2. Cool the ribs.

  3. Mix together Mashi Kimchi Paste, sugar, water, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

  4. Add ribs to the marinade and let marinade in the refrigerator overnight.

  5. Remove the ribs from the marinade and save the marinade.

  6. Place ribs on a hot grill to create a strong char on the ribs, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  7. Place saved marinade and charred ribs in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker for 30-40 minutes. Let the pressure cooker naturally release to avoid having the short ribs seize up and to ensure the short ribs are as tender as possible (about 10 minutes).

    • You may optionally use a Crockpot on low for 2-3 hours
