It was a Friday
night, everything, everyone and everywhere was taking longer than expected. The
lines were long, the bus was late, and everyone just wanted to get out for the
long weekend. But it was weird, we were trapped, and I was starving. The night before
we decided that my boyfriend and I would eat dinner with my dad and my sister
while my mom was out of town. Usually when this arrangement is reached, me and
my boyfriend take the reigns, but this time, there was not an ounce of strength
between us so my super sister took control.

While I was
waiting at a dirty bus terminal, chatting with stranded strangers, my
boyfriend and my sister made the executive decision of what to make for dinner…
the Minimialist’s Korean Spareribs.
This recipe is a staple of deliciousness in our house, usually reserved for
Sunday nights when the whole family (all four of us) are at the
table. When the smell of these
spareribs permeate the house, we all know that no one is leaving until after
dinner, discussion and maybe ice cream dessert.

The taste and
seasoning make it feel like hard work is put into these ribs, but in
reality, the ribs are cooked in a single pot. The flavors are complex, sweet
and spicy, nutty, and earthy, and the aroma is hypnotizing. There is something
about the toasty flavor of the sesame seeds that melds so nicely with the
brightness from the scallions and the fatty meat. The spice from the ginger cuts
the fat and adds to the appeal of the soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil. Even
adding the scallions on top and folding them into the rice add texture and
surprises.
