Miso Pork Ribs with Chilli-Honey Glaze

Ingredients for Miso Pork Ribs with Chilli-Honey Glaze

• 4 racks St. Louis–style pork spareribs (8–4.5kg total)

• 2 dried shiitake mushrooms, finely ground in a spice mill, or 2 tablespoons shiitake mushroom powder

• 120ml red miso

• 60ml sunflower oil or other neutral oil

• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped oil-packed Calabrian chillies or 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

• 1/2 cipolla media, finemente tritata

• 1/2 cucchiaini di sale kosher

• 3 spicchi d'aglio, tritati finemente

• 1 pezzo di zenzero da 2 pollici, pelato, finemente grattugiato

• 50g gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)

• 60ml tamari or low-sodium soy sauce

• 60ml aceto di riso non condito

• 80ml di miele

• Nonstick vegetable oil spray or vegetable oil (for foil)

• 6 cipollotti, affettati sottilmente

• Fried shallots (optional

• for topping)

Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 149°C. Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle evenly on all sides with mushroom powder, patting to adhere, then rub miso all over to lightly and evenly coat. Wrap each rack in a double layer of foil, crimping edges to seal. Divide foil packets between 2 rimmed baking sheets (2 packets per sheet) and bake until meat is fork-tender at the thickest part but not falling off the bones, 2–2 1/2 hours. Let cool slightly, then unwrap.

While the ribs are baking, heat oil and chillies in a medium saucepan over medium-low, stirring often, until chillies darken in colour a few shades and are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add onion and salt and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add gochujang, tamari, and vinegar and cook until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in honey.

Transfer mixture to a blender and purée until smooth and slightly glossy. Pour glaze into a small bowl or airtight container and let cool.

Heat grill. Line a clean rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Cut each rack in half (this will allow you to puzzle all the ribs onto the sheet) and arrange, meaty side up, in a single layer on prepared baking sheet; brush with glaze. Grill ribs until glaze is set and slightly darkened in colour (watch them closely so that the glaze doesn’t burn), about 4 minutes.

Transfer ribs to a platter and top with spring onions and fried shallots (if using).

Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 5 days ahead; cover and chill. Ribs can be baked 2 days ahead; let cool, then wrap tightly in plastic and place in an airtight container. Cover and chill.
