….Everyone loves grilled pork back ribs with soy sauce. This dish is very popular in Korean cuisine. No one can deny the delicious smell of grilling before eating. Because it is our traditional food, each house has its own precious recipe. Mine is simple but it’s a recipe I learned from my mother. My mother said good ingredients are the best recipes. Frankly, it’s still hard for me to decide which pork back rib is good. It was difficult to pick and prepare, but I was already looking forward to the taste. My family enjoyed it a lot, and my two year old grandson SIWOO especially loved it and ate it deliciously with his two hands. Thank you SIWOO!! Simple mother’s recipe is always loved by family. Don’t forget to make it. It can also be served with spicy sauce noodles during summer.
