This recipe is inspired by the ribs I love to eat at Korea BBQ's. If you have kimchi on hand go ahead and serve it with this. —Malibu Kitchen

These were spectacularly delicious. I didn't have sambal oelek, so I substituted sriracha sauce. I also skipped the chili because I wasn't sure about how spicy I could make them for my kids. They grilled up beautifully - I'll definitely make this recipe again.
