Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup gochujang
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Korean rice wine
  • 1 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 " piece fresh ginger finely grated
  • 3 cloves of finely grated garlic
  • 1 tablespoons ground white pepper
  • 2 racks pork spareribs membranes removed
  • Salt and Pepper for the rub

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients together except the ribs and salt, pepper.
  • Set the BBQ sauce in the refrigerator.
  • Remove the membrane from the ribs and trim excess fat.
  • Cover the ribs in a salt & pepper mix or use Sucklebusters SPG rub.
  • Light the Big Green Egg and set temp to 250°.
  • Add a chunk of hickory wood.
  • Place the plate setter in the BGE for indirect cooking with a drip pan full of water.
  • When you see the thin blue smoke coming from the BGE it is time to put in the ribs (bone side down).
  • Cook the ribs at 250° for 3 hours.
  • Pull the ribs out and place them meat side down on a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Place pats of butter and add a 1/4 cup of liquid (I used beer for this cook).
  • Cover the ribs in the foil and place back in the BGE for an hour.
  • Remove the ribs from the foil, raise the temp in the BGE to 300°.
  • Glaze the ribs with the Korean BBQ sauce and place them back in the BGE for an hour.
  • When you see the meat pull from the bone it is time to remove them and serve.
