Korean Ribs
A Message From Our Nutritionist
This recipe checks all the boxes in terms of flavour profiles. A little sweet, salty, tangy, spicy and savory. I would serve this with sticky rice and a non-starchy vegetable.

NUTRITIONIST’S TIP:
Korean pepper paste is also know as Gochujang. It can be found in the Asian section of many grocery stores. Korean pepper is not as spicy as regular hot pepper flakes, so if you are needing to substitute I would suggest only using 1 tsp.
