🐖 Home BBQ Tips: Korean Pork Ribs (LA Galbi Style)
✨ What Is It?
In Korea, LA-style pork ribs (돼지 LA갈비) are a staple for casual BBQs and family dinners.
They’re cut across the bone — thick, juicy, and packed with flavour — then marinated in a sweet and savoury soy-based sauce that caramelises beautifully when grilled.
❤️ Why Koreans Love It
- It’s a classic home-style BBQ dish – something Mum would serve on a weekend.
- The bone adds richness, and the 1cm cut gives a satisfying bite.
- The soy marinade hits the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and umami.
- It’s affordable, nostalgic, and incredibly moreish.
Think of it as the Korean answer to slow-cooked ribs – but faster, sweeter, and made for a sizzling grill.

🥬 How Koreans Eat It
Wrap a grilled piece in lettuce or perilla leaf with a bit of rice, garlic, and ssamjang (Korean dipping sauce).
We call it “ssam (쌈)”, and it’s how Korean BBQ becomes a complete meal in one bite.
Pair it with rice, soup, and some kimchi — and you’re all set.
