Easy Korean Air Fryer Pork Ribs
Description
This recipe for Easy Korean Air Fryer Pork Ribs combines a sweet and savory marinade with an efficient air frying method. The ribs are cut into small pieces to increase surface area for the marinade and even cooking. Ingredients like brown sugar, fresh pressed garlic, low sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil infuse the meat with a balance of sweetness, umami, and toasted notes.
After marinating for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, the ribs cook at 400°F in the air fryer for about 18-20 minutes. They are tossed halfway through to crisp each side evenly. The cooking method results in ribs that have a slightly caramelized exterior and a tender, juicy interior.
These ribs can be served hot right away or enjoyed cold, which is useful for packed lunches or picnics. Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer for a few minutes. This recipe lends itself to easily controlled portion sizes due to the smaller rib pieces and offers a flavorful, approachable introduction to Korean-style pork ribs.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork ribs (have your butcher cut them into baby size pieces)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 5 garlic pressed, cloves
- 1 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients for the recipe. Cut ribs into small pieces if not already pre-cut by your butcher.
- Place pork ribs into a ziplock bag. Add brown sugar, garlic, low sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil and seal the bag. Massage the ingredients together to distribute the marinade.
- Allow the pork ribs to marinate for at least 8 hours, overnight if possible.
- Place one layer of pork ribs into an air fryer basket. Air fry them at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, depending on the size. Halfway through, open the basket and toss them to make sure all the sides are crispy.
- Serve the ribs hot or cold. You can always reheat leftovers in an air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
