Asian-inspired, lettuce wrapped spare ribs


With sautéed shallot and green onion, and kimchi.

Suj's cooking was the inspiration for this dish. I went over yesterday while she was prepping dinner, and I asked her what kind of marinade she was using. She gave me her recipe for a Korean marinade (soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, green onion, sesame seeds) but she didn't give me proportions and I didn't taste her version, so today I just winged it and made my own. Whatevs :)

Pork ribs marinated for 3 hours, browned on a sautée pan, then into the oven for half an hour - perfect! The sautéed shallot added a subtle hint of sweetness, while the kimchi provided good acidity, spiciness, and crunch. Overall, it's definitely a meal to repeat!
