Dwaeji galbi

돼지갈비

What exactly is it?

Pork ribs are marinated in sweet-savory or spicy seasoning before grilling. The coating concentrates as it cooks. Some restaurant preparations combine ribs with other pork cuts, so visible bones do not describe the whole meat mixture.

Main ingredients

Pork ribs, soy sauce or gochujang, sugar, garlic, onion

Ordering and serving

Sweet marinade scorches easily, so do not leave one side unattended on high heat. Compare portion weight, minimum orders and the ingredient labels for marinated pork versus pork ribs.

Origins and changes

It developed as a marinated pork-rib option alongside beef-rib barbecue. Soy and gochujang versions differ markedly, and KTO describes pork ribs as a generally more affordable alternative to beef ribs.
