Before you cook
Context, not a claim of one canon
This Korean-style gochujang rib draft is a contemporary adaptation rather than a claim of one canonical Korean rib preparation. Cut, pre-cooking, marinade, smoke, and tenderness preferences vary.

Instructions
Prepare safely
Remove the membrane, portion the ribs on a dedicated board, refrigerate promptly, and wash hands.
Time: 10 minutesTemperature: Refrigerated until needed
Look and feel: Sections are evenly sized with the membrane removed.
Safety: Raw pork juices must not contact cooked food, banchan, or serving sauce.
Mix the marinade
Whisk the marinade until smooth and reserve any finishing portion before raw contact.
Time: 5 minutes
Look and feel: The marinade is homogeneous.
Safety: Reserve any serving sauce before raw-meat contact.
Marinate under refrigeration
Coat ribs lightly, cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Time: 240 minutesTemperature: At or below 40°F / 4°C
Look and feel: Every piece has a thin, even coating.
Safety: Never marinate meat at room temperature.
Preheat the grill
Preheat a clean outdoor grill or manufacturer-approved indoor electric grill; establish the heat zones described below.
Time: 10 minutesTemperature: Indirect medium-low heat, then medium direct heat
Look and feel: The grate is hot, clean, and lightly oiled.
Safety: Never use a fuel-burning grill indoors; follow electric-grill ventilation instructions.
Grill and verify
Cook covered over indirect heat, turning periodically, until safely above 145°F / 63°C and approaching tender; finish briefly over direct heat with clean reserved sauce. Test cooking must establish the final tenderness endpoint.
Time: 100 minutesTemperature: Indirect medium-low heat, then medium direct heat
Look and feel: Ribs are safely above 145°F / 63°C, browned, and test-cook-verified tender before the rest.
Safety: 145°F / 63°C plus a 3-minute rest is the whole-cut pork safety minimum; tenderness may require a higher endpoint determined in test cooking.
Rest and serve
Transfer to a clean platter, apply only clean reserved sauce if used, and rest 3 minutes before serving.
Time: 3 minutesTemperature: Off heat
Look and feel: The meat has completed the stated rest on a clean platter.
Safety: Use clean utensils and do not return cooked meat to the raw-meat platter.

Questions this draft anticipates
Recipe FAQ
Why is the tenderness endpoint unresolved?
The official safety minimum and the higher texture endpoint are different; test cooking must validate the equipment-specific result.
Can raw marinade glaze the ribs?
No. Use only sauce reserved before raw-pork contact.
