• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 15 minutes
• Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of pork ribs
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your Air Fryer to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Add the pork ribs to the bowl and make sure each rib is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
4. Place the ribs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
5. Cook the ribs in the air fryer for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even crisping.
6. Once done, remove the ribs carefully and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
7. Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Tips and Tricks

• For extra crispiness, you can preheat the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes.
• If you can’t find gochujang, substitute it with Sriracha for a different spin.
• Let the ribs marinate for longer, up to overnight, if you have the time. This will allow the flavors to penetrate deeper.
