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.
Suggested Recipes
Hawaiian Fried Rice
This recipe came together because I had leftover rice and roast pork in the fridge. I’m not sure that it’s Hawaiian but the pork and pineapple combination is undeniably a perfect match.
Greek Style Chicken and Okra
I bet Okra is one of those vegetables that you overlook in the produce section. No need to anymore. This recipe is hearty like a stew and easy to prepare. Could be your next family favourite.
Frozen Dessert Pizza
I’m not much of a dessert fan but this recipe is just fun to make and adds a smile to the faces of everyone that tries it.
