Delicious air-fried Korean pork ribs marinated in a mix of sweet and spicy ingredients, featuring blended pear, onion, and garlic. The ribs are cooked to perfection in an air fryer, served with caramelized onions, Korean tofu soup, salad, and rice.
1: Pat dry your pork ribs. Then remove the membrane.
2: After you remove the membrane, cut in between the bones of your ribs. Soak in salt water for at least 10 mins. Then drain and rinse under cold water. Pat your ribs dry with a paper towel.
3: Make your pork rib marinade: in a blender or food processor, blend 1/2 pear, 1 small onion, 10 cloves of garlic.
4: Once everything is well blended, add to it: 1/3 cup rice syrup, 2/3 cup korean chili paste, 1 tsp ginger, 1 TBSP soy sauce, 1 TBSP sesame oil, 1 tsp black pepper. Combine this well.
5: Now that your marinade is done, add your ribs to this and coat well.
6: Cook this on a grill but since I did not have one, I cooked mine in the air fryer at 400F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Then cook for an additional 15-20 minutes flipping every 5 minutes and basting occasionally.
7: Once your pork ribs are cooked, serve it up and enjoy.
