Steps

  1. Soak the back ribs in sugar water 1 hour before cooking to drain the blood. Remove the silver skin and rinse thoroughly in cold water.

  2. Fill a large pot with plenty of water, add 1 green onion stalk, 1 onion, 5 crushed garlic cloves, black pepper, 2 bay leaves, and 300ml cheongju, then bring to a full boil.

  3. Add the back ribs to the boiling stock, cover the pot, and boil hard for 20 minutes.

  4. Blend 1 apple, 1 Asian pear, 1 onion, 4 Cheongyang chili peppers, 2 tbsp minced garlic, 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 5 tbsp Sriracha sauce in a blender to create the Hell Sauce.

  5. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan with whole garlic cloves, add the boiled ribs and sear until golden. Pour enough Hell Sauce to submerge the ribs and stir-fry to reduce, then finish by crushing Vietnamese chili peppers in by hand.

  6. Place pizza cheese and mozzarella in a bowl and microwave for 3 minutes to make the cheese fondue.

  7. Dip the Hell Ribs into the hot melted cheese and enjoy.
