For best results, use high-quality soy sauce and rice wine. The orange juice adds a subtle sweetness that balances the savory flavors. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your preferred level of spiciness. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping. Serve these ribs with steamed rice, kimchi, and other Korean side dishes (banchan) for a complete and authentic meal. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can braise the ribs in a Dutch oven in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until tender.

StepPrepare the Ribs: Wash the ribs and pat them thoroughly dry. Season generously with salt. (5 minutes)
02
StepSear the Ribs: Heat canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the ribs and sear on all sides until nicely browned. This step is crucial for developing deep flavor. (6-8 minutes)
03
StepPrepare the Braising Sauce: In a blender, combine the onion, soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice wine, orange juice, ginger, garlic, and jalapeño. Blend until smooth. (5 minutes)
04
StepSlow Cook the Ribs: Transfer the seared ribs to a 3-quart slow cooker. Pour the blended sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the slow cooker. (2 minutes)
05
StepCook: Cook on High until the meat is incredibly tender and easily pulls away from the bone. (3-4 hours)
06
StepBroil for Char: Once the ribs are cooked, preheat your oven's broiler. Place the ribs on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Broil until they are nicely charred and caramelized. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (About 5 minutes)
